    Many people might skip this book just because of the title, but I urge all fellow readers to give it a try! It has a very positive moral compass, doesn't hold grudges, and lets you settle scores on the spot. The chapter where one person fights seven geniuses is especially satisfying! It doesn't follow the typical tropes of fantasy, the protagonist is very shrewd, and it's not just mindless wish-fulfillment!
