READER FEEDBACK

On Life in the ‘Cosm

The characters are lovable and wonderfully diverse, and the story-within-a-story device helps drive the plot along and add an extra layer of humor to an already hilarious tale. If me dropping my book to draw fan art doesn’t convince you that this book is seriously awesome, I don’t know what will.

I will say the protagonist did grate on me a bit, but I don’t think an unlikable narrator is a bad narrator by any means, and being so close to his thoughts only shows how much he grows throughout the story. He also doesn’t get a free pass to be a jerk: when he messes up, other characters call him on it, and I appreciate that he has to own up to his actions.

In short, if you want a book full of excellent world building, rich settings, complex characters, positive LGBT+ representation, and good fun, this is the book for you!
