UNDENIABLY 5 STARS. One of the best books I've read this year and that is not an exaggeration. (Not saying best because I finished the Remembrance of Earths Past trilogy this year and that series changed me as a person on a fundamental scale.)

Chaotic and absurd. Hilarious and horrifying. Beautiful beautiful ending. Absolutely everything.

Scott Hawkins has an absolutely unique and colourful voice as an author. Just remembering his words as I write this review has my heart pumping.

In the beginning it reminded me of a darker more fucked up Umbrella Academy and as I progressed it reminded me of a more put together, focused Homestuck. Absolute banger. Perfect in every way.
