Delightful

I've been looking for a book that would give me the same happy feelings as House In The Cerulean Sea did, and I've finally found it! I cannot wait to read the next one

A true joy. This is essentially "kindness is a mundane superpower" the series. It might soothe your soul, the same as it did mine.
