Ohh I think I will be buying a copy of this because it is just so lovely. The characters, the art, the story, there was nothing I didn't like about it. A fairy and a beast raising a little human child together in the human world where they're basically hiding in plain sight? Sign me up.

I love the way that the realtionship between Bon and Razz evolved throughout the book. And their feelings for each other changed without either of them realizing. One of my favorite romance tropes, honestly. They're adorable, and Melody is a adorable, and I love them all dearly.

The world Costa created is also fascinating and lovely. While I did feel like maybe a little more background would have been helpful, I still loved the characters and just kind of went with it. I would definitely read more graphic novels about them!

This was cosy and cute asf. I loved the gradual evolution of Razzmatazz’s and Bon’s relationship, and seeing Melody grow up. I just wanted to see a little more filler, some deeper discussion in the resolution, and more of the two MC’s backstories. Also, the dialogue flow was a little weird at times.
