This was such a fun time. The art is absolutely beautiful! I read a bit of this way back when and I do see they it was really cleaned up for the publication. The story is cute and fun, and I love the found family vibes and magical chaos. Excited to see what happens next!

The illustrations are so cute! The story and dialogue got a bit confusing at times, and it was definitely a lot darker than I anticipated.

This was a engaging story containing sweet characters with endearing personalities. The world building is nicely done too, and the mysteriousness involved throughout it held my interest to the last page. There are darker moments throughout the story but they're balanced out with light-hearted ones, alongside the optimism and friendship between the characters. I enjoyed how each one of them is working through their own insecurities and learning how to grow into their identities and new relationships. I also enjoyed the art throughout the book, funny and dramatic moments are paced well, and the characters are full of life and expression. I would recommend this to other readers, for both kids and adults alike.
