After seeing the movie, the book wasn't what I thought it was going to be. It was a well written book but not what I thought it was going to be about.

This book made me smile, it's not the greatest writing or the most exciting story, but it is fun to read and you learn to love each character. I will say that the character development is very strong, and the love you feel for each person is what makes it so fun.

This gave such similar vibes to Terry Pratchett's The Color of Magic, it was wild. Loved it a lot!
A quote I liked:
"To understand pretending... is to conquer all barriers of time and space," (p. 18).

I really had no idea what to expect apart from ties to Rise of the Guardians with this book but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The style of writing reminded me both of Lemony Snicket and C.S. Lewis. I was very amused by the chapter titles and the story was very fun. I also enjoyed the illustrations. I'm looking forward to reading the next two volumes! More Pitch, please!

The vocab in this book is so rich! The storytelling felt like a classic children's story. The action was fun and fast paced.
Overall, the story left me feeling adventurous, but it wasn't very deep. The sci-fi and fantasy elements were nice, but they were a bit convoluted at times. Overall, we really enjoyed this, but it didn't blow me away.
