oh man I'd heard great things about this book but the title + cover pairing made me think it was going to be more Srs Sci-Fi than it actually is. It's a little goofy–I saw a review comparing it to Good Omens and I think that's pretty apt–and so sweet and such an original take on some fairly common themes (power of food/music/culture, deal with a devil, uncaring space empires, etc) but so well-executed and with such great characters!!
