    Yes, I am fun at parties. I too like parties where discussions on hierarchy and oppression abound!

    I love this series so much. It is ridiculous and defies serious reviewing. It’s got a lot of flaws and...

    It’s a standalone and those always seem to get less attention than the start of a series.
