Quite liked the beginning and the ending is sugary sweet & cute - the writing style/ humor in between just wasn‘t my cup of tea though

Maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for the found family trope (and narratives about a character realizing that something that seems completely out of their comfort zone is actually the right thing in their life after all), but this book almost felt like coming home after a long day at work and curling up in front of the fire. It left me with this warm, cozy feeling, and the underlying themes were handled rather respectfully through Linus's character. It reminds me a bit of Good Omens--witty humor and well-developed characters, while also not being afraid to tackle more serious subject matter. Very much looking forward to reading the sequel sometime soon.

A thoroughly enjoyable fantasy tale addressing issues like prejudice and how little actions and voices can add up together.

Really enjoyed it and had 4.5 potential but many things including lack of nb/trans character dev. & other controversial talk surrounding this book (stolen story of Native people retold by the author). For this i give it 4 stars bc still a really cute/ fun/ meaningful story.

This was my first fantasy book. The characters in the story stole my heart.
The love between Arthur Parnassus and Linus baker was so heartwarming and cute.
The other characters, who are connected to magic, Lucy, Phee, Talia, Sal, Theodore, Chauncey, Zoe, everyone is so good.
The way TJ Kluene potrays and describes each and every characters was excellent.
This book make me wants to read more of these kind of fantasy books.
