I liked the book. Thought it was well done. But definitely wasn’t as good as the hype. But well done characters and a good moral.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but make it sweet, gay, and political. 

I loved everyone. It was sweet, and gay, and Theodore and his little buttons. 
I found Linus a bit inconsistent at times, a little too off the rules too quickly, but I don't really care. I still loved this.

Magical creature racism, and talk of children in bad foster care, one scene of extended talk of child abuse involving isolation.

I've only had Lucy, Talia, Theodore, Chauncey, Sal and Phee for a day and a half, but if anything happened to them I would kill everyone in this room and then myself

Arthur is probably one of the kindest characters I have ever read. He was so giving and caring of those that were in his care. 

Linus had a lot of growth as a character. He was a reclusive character that believed he was happy with his life. When he went out and found more in life he found that he could be happier than he ever thought.
