Synopsis

Find out if five Dereks are better than one in Nino Cipri's Defekt, the sequel to Finna, the surrealist world-hopping adventure.

Derek is LitenVärld's most loyal employee. He lives and breathes the job, from the moment he wakes up in a converted shipping container at the edge of the parking lot to the second he clocks out of work eighteen hours later. But after taking his first ever sick day, his manager calls that loyalty into question. An excellent employee like Derek, an employee made to work at LitenVärld, shouldn't need time off.

To test his commitment to the job, Derek is assigned to a special inventory shift, hunting through the store to find defective products. Toy chests with pincers and eye stalks, ambulatory sleeper sofas, killer mutant toilets, that kind of thing. Helping him is the inventory team—four strangers who look and sound almost exactly like him. Are five Dereks better than one?

4.0 Stars I loved Finna so much last year so I was excited for the opportunity to read and review this companion novella. While this is technically the sequel to Finna, this could be read first or as a standalone since it is more of a loose follow up novella set at the same store.  This novella takes......more

I really liked the first, Finna, but I LOVED Defekt. If book#1 was Scandinavian Narnia, then this was Ikea's Welcome to Nightvale.
