3.8/3.9 rounded up. Hard to follow all of the characters’ names and relationships with one another because sometimes they were mentioned once and then we were supposed to remember that mention again some 50 pages later when they got their own chapter.
The prose was good though and all of them felt like different voices for sure! Some of the poems were cheesy, some funny, and some had depth.
Overall a unique and interesting read I’d recommend for people who like interconnecting stories and stories told through verse.

Twenty voices, twenty views, one story.
'The Realm of Possibility' is something that you pick up with the intent of 'no plot, just vibes' and it's pretty spot on. You read not for some new quest or some revelation of heroes but to hear out twenty kids who are trying to figure themselves out.
It's an interesting choice to have their POVs written in different styles of poetry, which gives the readers a view into what their individual personalities are without having to actually spell it out for them. I did have difficulty keeping track of who's who, as I'm pretty bad with names and you're the one who has to figure out who the current voice is talking about.
