There aren't enough words for me to properly go into just how much of a marvel this book is. As a queer person, seeing how lovingly Linus and Arthur were written was extremely heartwarming, especially for one with a heart so shriveled as mine. I know not everyone has the same takeaway from these sort of things, but the magic in this book truly picked me up and swept me along with it, and I would have stayed in it forever if possible.

It had many aspects in it as well that I feel could make for a wonderful Ghibli film, which is less of a review and more of how I personally imagined things. I love Marsyas and will be returning to it most assuredly.
