there was too much going on which made it vague and at times frustrating. still entertaining with a good ending

I enjoyed this book a LOT more than I thought I would. So whimsical, lighthearted, and just fun. It was so relaxing to read this book, and that's something I 1) needed right now and 2) don't normally find in a book.

If you have a minute to just...enjoy a great book (that's different from anything you'll ever read), please pick this up!!

What. A. Journey. I had to take a deep breath at the end. I still feel like I’m holding my breath from that last game. 

There are some beautiful moments in this story. A dozen times better than my experience with her other two books. Unique concept and unique characters with dynamic relationships. 

I. Just. Wish. Vi. Had. A. Bigger. Part. And that’s the main reason it cannot be 5 stars. If you took the whole story and removed Vi,  the outcome would basically be the same. Which is NOT what you want for a major character. Or at least, she’s presented as a MC. She isn’t written like one. Also this was a slow slow slow start. I had to skim several chapters to find the action again. Her writing style is still not my favorite. But damn does she have some amazing scenes scattered about. 

For all the things I did not like, this was a very unique book like I’ve never read before. 

Will I pick up another book for her? Idk 1/3 isn’t great. But I at least, recommend this one.

This was genuinely my hardest read ever. It was so confusing and just not with it. If I had not been so determined to finish I didn't think I would've finished it. Yeah wouldn't recommend. The art in the book was cute
