auri_winter's review against another edition
4.0
This is a very nice middle-grade book.
The beginning is a bit slow, but the pace then picks up and is just perfect. I also liked it, that it is not immediately clear who the bad and who the good guys are. It is quite an exceptional book it the regard, that the book shows, that the world and people can be quite cruel. In some case, just out of disregards but in other cases out of purpose.
The artwork in the book is on point. I would recommend to buy and read the book just because of the art. But as I mentioned above, the story is also good.

I just didn't click with the story. I thought I'd love it but the worldbuilding is poor and all the characters are written to be very irritating in different ways.

- This was my first read of this year and I kind of wish my first book had been something else. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book. I just didn't love it.

This was a bit slow starting but then it got very creepy! I really liked the narration. It felt like the story was left a bit unfinished.

A romp. I loved this. Classic portal fantasy with a realistic sister dynamic.
