This is SUCH an entertaining read. I thought for sure I'd be rolling my eyes at things, but instead I was trying to hold back a laugh. And the plot really works. Sure, there's some suspension of disbelief, but it's actually really well-handled. It's fast-paced with some good banter to the writing and I'll definitely be moving right into the next in the series.
