Death is wonderful to music. It makes the singers sound like ghosts.
When I started reading this, I didn't expect it would take me seven months to finish! You might wonder why I stuck with it for so long, but it was nice to have a book like this around, something light and simple, easy to pick up and easy to put down, especially for those tedious waits at bus stops when you still need to be half aware of your surroundings. There were a few things about Klune's writing style and worldbuilding which didn't hit the spot for me, but I dearly loved all of the children, and Linus and Arthur were quite sweet together.

This story hit me right in the feels. Simultaneously heartwarming and gutwrenching at times, and achingly beautiful storytelling. Just the thing to read if you need a little hope and lot of courage.

A cozy story about a 40 years old man who has nothing left but his job beibg forced out his routine and finding a place where he really fits. I like that to do that, he didn't change the purpose of his life, just found another way to fufill it . I got weirded out by how, even though she was well intentioned, the narrative treated the mayor's abuse of power like a fun little thing she does
