5.0
Starter Villain was incredibly fun to read. It is full of irreverent dialogue, and while it didn't take itself too seriously, it still had a hearty story with depth, adventure, super genius cats, and people put into situations that they had no business being in. I loved that I had absolutely NO idea where this book would end up when I started, and it kept surprising me along the way.
No disappointments here. It's full of funny stuff, and some slightly absurdist vibes (in a good way), highly recommend checking it out.
Content notes: there is some death mentioned in the book, including the death of family members. But it's generally a very light hearted book.
Thanks to netgalley and TOR for this e-ARC! A real pleasure to read.
