This is now a favorite series, even though I’m not done yet. It’s a fun series that does dive into deeper and more serious topics.

This series basically owns my heart. I am so in love with all the beautiful rep, and the way the choices are never so black and white. This series is intense, and I highly recommend checking trigger/content warnings. Some of them (but definitely not all) include: Self harm, religious homophobia, death, gore, anxiety, abuse (mental and physical off page between father and daughter), and more that my brain is currently still processing.

This book picked up with the action, even though I didn't think it was possible. The stakes have been upped. Between Quiteus, EMID, and a mutant preacher with a grudge against queer people, the Cute Mutants have a lot on their hands.

This book gets bloody. BLOODY.
And I'm here for every second of it.

But there's also the most amazing found family, and more mutants are added to it in this book. I'm so eager to see what happens with Violet after all she's been through.

We find out that Dylan is genderfluid, and my heart is so happy about that it could burst. Dylan is a character I already relate to on so many levels, and knowing that they are genderfluid just ups that feeling a level. I love watching their character growth and development. It absolutely shone in this book with the decisions Dylan makes.

I encourage everyone to read this series, and I absolutely cannot wait to move on to Vol. 4.
