My Favorite Band Does Not Exist by Robert T. Jeschonek

4.0

This book was way more deep and adventurous than I had expected. I was drawn to this book because after I read This Song Will Save Your Life, I wanted to read more books about music. So I picked up this baby.

My Favorite Band Does Not Exist centers around two boys and a book within a book. The two POVs are from Idea Deity and Reacher Mirage. The book within a book is called Fireskull's Revenant. Idea Deity and Reacher Mirage both are in a situation that is going to change their lives forever. Idea Deity is expected to be successful in life by his parents. Reacher Mirage has grown up with a family who believe he is a failure. I loved both of these characters equally. They're both are being held down by someone. This leaves for much character development which, was a wonderful thing to read about.

Fireskull's Revenant is the book that Idea and Reacher have been reading. In this book, there are two characters fighting against each other, Lord Fireskull and Johnny Without, who are told they are told two different prophecies. They both have their own kingdoms and each of them was to kill the other for varying reasons. Lord Fireskull was a gruesome character who loves bloodshed. Johnny Without is seeking revenge but he does his best for his kingdom. They're basically opposites who's goals are to commit a certain murder.

My Favorite Band Does Not Exist had an original plot and it is something I would recommend for people who either believe they are being controlled or have stage fright.
