I loved this audiobook and can’t wait for the second half of the duology! The characters are so lovable and complex, and the descriptions of each scene were so detailed that I could picture them easily. I would LOVE to see this story in a visual medium.

I have missed the intensely fast pacing of certain YA/middle grade books and this fully delivered on that front. The plot hard carried the book by so much.

Minor: Ableism, Confinement, Animal death, and Death of parent

Bullying is done both by characters you're not supposed to root for and characters you're supposed to vote for. Ableism is unchallenged & specifically anti-npd ableism.
