What a rich magical world full of exotic beasts and fun characters! I absolutely loved this book. It was great to see a male main character again that learns to appreciate who he is. Barclay's development was so believable and organically refreshing.
I am a sucker for fantastic beasts and this story did not disappoint. The world is brimming with life and lore and magical creatures with unique abilities. On top of that, it also includes beasts as companions which I am all about.
The ending wasn't entirely predictable, which is awesome in a middle grade. I am greatly looking forward to more of Barclay and Root and everything that comes with this world!
