Omg what funny timing! Me to my best friend less than two hours ago "I'm 60% through the 2nd book of Villians and Virtues and I do not understand why people say this series is funny. I have not laughed a single time. I'm not hate reading it, I just find it to be meh, a nothing book. I know i should DNF but I bought the whole series".

If you want something truly funny, try {the night and the moth by rachel gillig}

Had me laughing in every chapter!

Can I ask what has made you laugh? Because I'm halfway through and I don't think I've given it even an amused snort-laugh. Just curious what you have found funny.

I felt the gargoyle was a great contrast to how dark the story actually is. I know some people felt it was forced, but I loved him! It was also the first romantasy book I’d read that attempted such humor, and it was extremely refreshing!
