i almost never give five stars, but here we are…
This is a beautifully executed satire, blending the best elements of THE BIG SHORT with a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. The metaphors are as thinly veiled as a Victoria’s Secret catalogue, but they work, and work well.
I’m not much of a writer myself so i’ll keep this short, but trust me when i say this is a book well worth your time.
