I was worried I wouldn’t end up loving this when I started it but I absolutely did. It’s exciting and vaguely sickening throughout. I love Richard as the narrator because of the ways he sees the other characters.

I really enjoyed this book! The writing style really felt like a legend, which was fun and different from what I’m used to. The story itself was surprising and kept me thoroughly interested from start to finish. At its core, I think this book is about the dangers of absolute faith in any one thing, whether that’s a person or religion. It’s a really interesting theme and not one I’ve often read about to this extent.

Overall a fun read! I found the writing style to be a little clunky at times and almost none of the characters were particularly likable, but the plot was interesting and more surprising than I expected.

If I could, this would be more like a 4.8 stars but I didn’t feel it quite deserved a perfect 5. I loved all the stories, although one was definitely the standout throughout the whole thing. The character development from each major character is exactly what I wanted. Overall, there were so many great stories and moments (both funny and serious) that made me love this book. I just had a few minor issues with scope, pacing, etc. that made me feel that it wasn’t quite perfect.
