I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, as both contain similar themes including found family and a sanctuary for magical children.

I finished this 8 hours ago, at 5:30 in the morning, and I still have no words. The grasp these children, this character, this book have on my heart is unparalleled, I haven't felt this for a book in such a long time. 

I already fall so easily for the found-family trope, but when you add queerness to it I just can't help but melt in a puddle. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it's predictable. No, that never takes away from it. In times like these, when everything seems so horrible and hopeless, this book is a warm blanket wrapped around you, offering you some hot chocolate and a tight hug as well. May we all find a place like Marsyas - a home where we can be ourselves, where we can blossom, and, most importantly... where we can be loved.
