Oh what a weird book. I like it a lot, but I'll fully admit, it's a weird one.
Ok, here goes....
In a world much like ours, with blue skies and green grass, Idea Deity (seriously) is on the run from his parents (Loving and Vengeful Deity, yes, seriously.) and his minders/tutors. Meanwhile, he amuses himself by posting status reports about an imaginary band he's created out of whole cloth - and which is rapidly becoming an internet phenom. Then he meets up with Eunice Truant, a pretty blonde girl with a gothic face tattooed on the back of her head. She's not doing anything important, so she's ready to help him make his escape. He's also reading this really cool fantasy book called Fireskull's Revenant.
In a world much like ours, with green skies and pink grass, Reacher Mirage is the front man of a band that is desperately trying to remain secret. That's hard, with someone online managing to spill all of their set lists, songs, schedules, and lyrics (even the ones he hasn't even finished writing yet!) to everyone in the world! He and his bandmates travel around with their stage manager (and his girlfriend) Eurydice Tarantella, a really cool goth chick with this amazing tattoo of a blonde on the back of her head. As he tours, he tries to get up his courage to actually perform live, without a disguise. He's also reading this really nifty book called Fireskull's Revenant.
In a world with bright orange fiery skies and lots of dead grass, Lord Fireskull and his arch-nemesis Johnny Without (yes, really) battle pretty much continually over their shared border. They get each get advice from a Scrier, who oddly enough doesn't look quite the same to each of them, and conflicting advice from a Prophet.
All three of these worlds are deeply entertwined, and only Idea, Reacher, Fireskull, and Johnny can save the universe. First they have to find each other. Then they have to find themselves.
