HOLY PLOT TWIST. I am shocked and terrified and so excited for the next book. These stories just get better and better and the character development in this book??? *chef’s kiss* perfection.
Dylan’s transformation is INCREDIBLE (and hello beautiful genderfluid rep, how exciting!!!) I’m loving the vibe of the series right now, how it started out relatively warm and fluffy and is starting to get... pretty dark. Yeah, there’s a lot of blood and fighting and tragedy in this one, and it works because istg I felt for every single character. Every. Single. One. The stakes in every action scene were 19283828282 because I cared so much about everyone!
I can’t wait to see where this series goes. This book leaves the Cute Mutants in a really difficult position, and I can’t wait to see the choices they’re forced to make going forwards. I think there are going to be a lot of ~consequences~ and they’re all going to have to dig deep—I can’t wait to see it.

I keep trying to organize my thoughts on this series into something coherent but I really should just accept the fact that that is not going to happen. I love this series so much! As a kid, I was OBSESSED with the X-Men movies and as I got older I realized it was because it was all a thinly veiled metaphor for being queer. So the fact that this series is basically X-Men but 1000% more queer gives me life and is why I refuse to shut up about how much I love this series.
I am extremely excited to see how this series keeps evolving and growing. Serious shit happens with serious consequences and it feels like the characters are realistically dealing with that trauma. But interspersed throughout this pretty series story arc are these beautiful fluffy moments.
So yes, it will surprise no one that I HIGHLY recommend this series and I just really need more people to read about these wonderful queer mutants!

Wow. Amazing. 5 stars. Might be my favorite so far, but Book 2 has been really good as well! This book has been an absolute blast! I didn't want to put it down for one second! Everything I liked about the first two volumes is present in this one (with one sporting equipment sized exception). There was so much action in this book, it felt like 4 different climaxes. A lot of new characters got introduced, each with their own individual power. Many good quotes and funny banter from Dylan and the other Cute Mutants. The world building got expanded a lot, with some threads still being left in the open which makes me even more excited to find out what happens in the sequels. This book is an emotional rollercoaster, so many different feels. I especially liked the exploration of moral ambiguity and our crew of lovable queer mutants realising that they might not be the comic book heroes they initially thought/hoped they'd be. AND OHHH THAT ENDING!! MY POOR HEART AHH
