"I absolutely loved this book—its sheer absurdity made it incredibly entertaining, and I can’t wait to dive into Starter Villain, which has been waiting on my shelf for far too long.

John Scalzi’s writing reminded me of the satirical authors I grew up with, like Wodehouse and the Bulgarian writer Zdravko Popov. That familiar, sharp-witted vibe struck a chord with me and was likely one of the many reasons I enjoyed this book so much. I’ve already recommended it to countless people��including my mom, a strict thriller reader!

This book has everything—lighthearted comedy, dark humor, political tension, religious doubts, love and hate, acceptance and denial, belief and riots. The deeper you go, the darker it gets, and I loved how Scalzi wove brutal reality into such an absurd premise.

With the central theme of the moon being made of cheese (BUT WHAT KIND OF CHEESE???), the book also sent me down memory lane, reminding me of the old Tom and Jerry episode "O Solar Meow" from the very first chapter.

It’s a light, noncommittal read—not a binge book, but one to relax with at the end of a long day, letting it pull you away from reality. Savor it. On a side note, my favorite POVs were Annette and Felix’s, though I wish I’d also had more time with Lessa Sarah and Hector.

Thank you, NetGalley and Pan Macmillan, for the ARC!"
