The ace rep wasn't the best but what bothered me much more even though it was only a very small part of the book was Kade's backstory because why would a trans guy get kicked out of his world for transphobic reasons if that world was supposed to be perfect for him??

I loved this so much, and I'm now very excited to read the rest of the series! Or at least the five out of six books I own.
First read April 2018
I finally started this series, which everyone and their grandmother seems to absolutely adore . And I'm right there with them!
I did feel like the story could have been a little longer. Some aspects of it were too confusing - for example, I had trouble imagining some of the worlds like Jack and Jill's, or Kade's, or Sumi's. And the ending felt a little too rushed? Like, the climax is over in like a paragraph or something; I actually almost missed it.
But I'm very excited to read the rest of the series! I'm usually not the biggest fan of prequels, but in this case, I'm definitely looking forward to reading them!
*More thoughts coming later ... MUCH LATER, probably, knowing my chaotic ass*
