I wouldn’t say this was the most incredible, mind blowing book ever written like my dad promised but my GOD was it fun. Robert Langdon man of the century!

This was such a fun read. Action packed, fast-paced, witty, and most importantly: unique. Not only was it refreshing to see representation for women older than 25, but as assassins doubled the fun.

Sarah J. Maas manages (yet again) to make a significantly long book into a quick read because she grips her readers by the throats and makes them need to know what happens next!

Offerman of course laces this book with the humor than fans of his work have come to know, which helped make this a fun and easy read. However, at times I found his points to be disjointed and would have liked a clearer connect between his point relating to social justice and how the environment can play into these issues (because it can!)
