well, i read the first chapter and i understood maybe half of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am already enthralled with this book. I completely understand the categorization of "lit rpg" now; this book literally reads like a video game. Quirky, exciting, hilarious, hard to put down. The first 80 pages flew by. Can't wait to read more!

"I don't believe in 'evil' in most ways ... I believe in the devil, but man don't need no help from Satan to do what folks call 'evil.' Man do evil every day and call it doin their job. Slave drivers was doing their job, beatin the skin off folks ... See, colored folks fighting for what's theirs is like a virus to white folks - and they kill a virus so it don't spread. Killing is the work of man, not the devil."

"The vines looked like a beard beneath two windows on the top floor that stared like hollow eyes. Robert had never seen a building that looked so alive- waiting for him, even. This was a bad place."

"The kitchen looked like machinery ... Everything sharp leered like grinning teeth."

"English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods."

"Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night."
