I love the rat queens. The first book was amazing, fresh and funny. The second book was fast paced and hilarious. Before I read the third volume I went back and re-read the second one.

I’m going to pretend that you all did, because I want to believe you are wonderful people that love nice things and it would break my heart to find out you were apathetic about my Rat Queens. If it’s possible, this volume managed […]
