"I offer you helplessness," she said. "I offer you insignificance in the face of a world that thinks nothing of you. I offer you the cold, sick fear of not knowing."
And the goddess took it and was gone.
and then I transformed into a fish or a gnat and then some mist and I observed it all and then I flew up into the sky and observed from there and I observed and made sure the audience knew deep in their hearts that I was also observing for 400 pages!
If you couldn't tell, I didn't appreciate the narrator. At the beginning I thought it was fun, but it soon became grating to read descriptions of the narrator purposefully accomplishing pure nothing over and over, & was it really necessary for EVERY scene to have a moment where the narrator went and described exactly how and where they watched the events transpire? & the humor in general I came to find annoying!! Didn't end up enjoying many of the characters, especially hated the Duke and Miss Bickle. Mitchelmore and Caesar were the only two I ended up really enjoying spending time around. I was blessed that Mitchelmore was the main character, but almost everyone around her.. uhg.h.
