dmitribobitri 's review for:
The Genesis of Misery
by Neon Yang
I absolutely loved the Tensorate Series by Yang, so I fully expected to enjoy this book as well and I absolutely did. It delivers on premise, has tight writing, engaging characters that make you cheer for them and yell at them in equal measure, and the ending is definitely one that I'm going to be thinking about for the next few days.
I think it ultimately delivers on the premise of a spin on the chosen one trope -- in the beginning, I was ready to fully take Misery at her word that they were a fraud. As the plot progresses, that is cast into doubt and confusion, and then in act three, it's hard to say what exactly to believe!
This is likely one that I will re-read after my brain has finished percolating on it a bit longer, but I've already recommended it to friends so they can talk about it with me.
Not without flaws, but none that bothered me enough to complain about in a review, so 5 stars!
