I'm sorry, but TJ Klune just writes a dang good book. I can only think of one of his books that I've read that hasn't rated at least 4.5 stars. He's in my top 5 authors, so of COURSE I was going to like this one. I pretty much knew this would be a 5-star by the first 30 pages. Why? Because the character work in this novel is magnificent. The characters are hilarious and yet totally believable.

The plot is totally wild, but really fun. There is a lot of tension and high stakes. It's a little different than his other books in this sense, but man it worked. I was seriously hooked to this rather quick moving pace and I finished in two days. The creativity is off the charts and I particularly enjoyed how he wove in some pieces of historical events.

The romantic component is a little instalovey, which I'm not really a fan of. But I will admit that there is some really good banter and chemistry between Alex and Nate. Like I mentioned earlier, Klune just does great at building characters. He's great at creating relationships between them that will totally grip your heart and I love every bit of it.

Go in knowing as little as possible about the plot and this baby will wow you. It's a wild ride. Highly recommend.
