I believed in the Invincible Sun when I was a kid.

This was such a crazy book. I loved the humour it was on point and had me laughing out loud. Reminiscent of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett's wit. The narrator is not the best person but I loved the narratorial voice. There's a lot of theological philosophizing and theorizing. Something I feel like philosophy undergrads would love to stroke their chins over. I did love it a lot though, mostly due to comedic reasons. I will say that K. J. Parker can write! This was the first book I've read by them and I'd be down to read more if they are as fast-paced and snarky.

Absolutely bat shit crazy, Pulling the Wings Off Angels is something I will keep thinking of (and chuckling about) for a long while. The characters, though all pretty despicable are exceedingly fun to read about.
