Chaotic Good
by Whitney Gardner
I really liked some parts of this book, but there are others that leave me feeling weird...
Ok so this book is about a cosplayers who's just moved to a new, smaller town. She's annoyed that she's living in such a small town, and, upon going to the comic book store, finds that she's not very welcome there because she's a girl. After some complaining to her twin brother, she decides to go back to the store dressed as a guy. "Genderbending" is... complicated. People have their different opinions on it. In this case, Cameron faces the repercussions when it becomes a bad thing, which I really liked. (If you wanna form your own opinion, google has lots of info!) On the other hand, this also felt like a super easy plot point. It just felt like it's been done so many times before. I know, I know, it's very "Twelfth Night," a classic. I'm just not fan of plots that revolve around lies. It gets very tiresome and boring to me as a reader.
I liked that it touched on internet hate. I like that it was about cosplay and nerds and dungeons and dragons. Those parts were super fun.
All in all, this book was just an ok for me. It was good, it was fun. But it was typical.
So it's 2.5/5 from me. A good middle ground rating.
