Dangerous enjoyment

5 stjärnor

It's hard to say I 'loved' listening to this book since everything and everyone seemed to be trying to kill the protagonist, but it was enjoyable to hear how she navigated the impossible situations. The time flew by. I'm ready for the next one.

Fun all the way through

4 stjärnor

A lot of reviewers complained reasonably that the worldbuilding is pretty unbelievable at times, but I was having too much fun to notice.

I loved the big gimmick underlying the whole book: the protagonist has the talents and affinities to be the most powerful and destructive necromancer of her generation - there’s even prophecies about her! - but she was raised by pacifist hippies and works incredibly hard not to accidentally incinerate or mind-control her classmates, building power not by sacrificing animals but through push-ups and crochet.
