chantaal 's review for:

1.5

I went into this almost completely blind, and thus had no idea that this has been described by the author as a "lesbian stoner buddy comedy". I'm glad I didn't know that going in, because even by those standards it completely missed the mark.

This had the bare bones of an interesting story and world building, but it was completely soured for me by how much I disliked the main character Lana by the end. I don't even care about all the questions this world building raised (WTF is that fairy and human relationship? Are there no men in this world?), I don't even care that it's a satire of how messy and useless our governments can be. I just couldn't STAND Lana. I gave her a lot of grace in the first third because this had promise, but then...she doesn't ever change. At all. She doesn't do a damn thing except get high with her fairy friend and lust after another human. She doesn't change or even try to do anything until she's forced into action in the last 15% of the book, and then...someone else dancing saves the day? I cannot. I CANNOT.
