- Liked how interesting the characters and the world building was.
- The images added in were very creative and I found it inspiring
- The only thing I didn’t like was the amount of characters and it was hard to remember who was who

The story is very gripping, we immediately dive into this strange universe and I never got bored at any time. All the elements are well thought out and well connected, and I find that very satisfying because when you discover certain things, you remember what happened before and everything makes sense !! The story is also image based. I found it super original and I liked it a lot, it completes the story and makes it more real and "credible".
The only negative point is that the chapters are quite long so I sometimes had to stop in the middle of some, and I don't like doing that at all because it cuts out the action and when I took back my reading I did not really know what was going on.
Either way, I can't wait to read the following books to learn more about the characters and see how they will evolve and what will happen ! On the other hand, I discovered that there are five other volumes and I really wonder what the author could have invented to make it so long (I admit that it discourages me a little that there have so many volumes but I still want to know the rest).

I absolutely loved the witty writing and narrator of this book. The atmosphere was the perfect mix of spooky and whimsical. The plot was so intriguing and I’m always a sucker for a group of kids with special abilities.
Note: although listed as a “horror” book I wouldn’t call it that and think it might give people the wrong expectations. The horror is more so a spooky undertone to the main whimsical and strange fantasy.

the animal death is pretty explicit but it’s only really one scene and easily skippablemaca_vr's review against another edition
