This volume had A LOT! Dylan's realization/coming out to Dani was good and sweet. It felt authentic and natural in the story. It wasn't forced in there! I enjoyed seeing all the new mutants but it got difficult to keep track sometimes of who was who/what their real and mutant names were, etc. This volume was a lot more gory and had more upsetting and sad or traumatizing moments. This volume is definitely NOT YA. I'm loving this series and plan on jumping into Volume 4 very soon!

THEY JUST KEEP WRITING BANGERS!!!!! I literally got this book this afternoon and just MARATHONED IT. This is seriously my favourite series ever, I've been screaming and crying and laughing the whole time. I can't tell you at all why because spoilers so just catch up already, read the rest of these delightfully queer superpowered books and TELL ME HOW MUCH IT HURTS/LOVES/SLAPS!!!!!!!

Another emotiona and intense read. Let me first say: THE WAY IT ENDED OMG.

I really love the concept on how Magneto was right and how this story goes deeper into it. The character development plays a massive role in this story and I'm liking where it's headed.

The push and pull of doing right vs wrong is written well and we see the struggle of trying to stay good when everything is against our main characters.

I did think the final fight scene dragged on a little though and there are some repetition but overall a good story.

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.

Yeah, that hurt. This book made me laugh, want to cry, want to throw things, and kind of sad. I loved it.

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.

I love the Cute Mutant books and it was lovely to jump back into that Universe again. This one felt darker than the others, which makes sense in their journey. I think after this book my favourite character is the sword 😂😍
