Lovely story about found family and courage to stand up for yourself and others. Found myself laughing at several of the interactions and enjoying the story which mainly focuses on character building of children in a orphanage for magical children. I highly recommend listening on audiobook if you are able that narrator does fun voices for the different characters.

A heartwarming, feel good story that unfortunately gets held back by having too many character and too little pages. 

While it is a lovely story about found family an following your heart, I found that it was lacking. Characters and their relationships seemed under developed and the stakes felt to low for the circumstances.  For a story that focused so much on the characters, it honestly felt that they were crammed in during some pages just to remind the reader that they existed.

The romances also felt like they came out of the blue and didn't have much build up.

Disappointingly, my initial review of this book disappeared. It’s such a fun read that took me a few chapters to get into. Once you’re in, there’s nothing that can stop you from loving each and every one of these characters.

This book is a love letter to everyone who has ever been made to feel that they don’t belong. You deserve a family who loves you just as you are, even if that means you have to go out and find them for yourself.

This is a beautiful story that weaves a narrative around chosen family and standing up for what you believe in around a world of magical beings. It's been a truly heartwarming read and quite difficult to put down.
