Two notes, the racism is fantasy!racism; the minority being discriminated against is magical beings but the reaction of the people, society, etc. all mirrors real-life bigotry. Also, the fatphobia is mostly internalized by Linus and insinuated in an off-screen doctor's appointment. His weight and "round shape" are commented on but Linus is the only one who views it negatively.

This is one of the most enjoyable books I’ve ever read. I don’t think I have read something that made me so consistently smile and giggle to myself, It’s heartfelt and tackles issues in such a way that it doesn’t feel forced. It surprisingly insightful. The children are written in a realistic way (like being able to roast adults so innocently) and regularly made me chuckle. The characters are so well developed. I truly cannot recommend those book enough. This is going to be my go to book when I need to lift my spirits.

V. E. Schwab described this book like getting wrapped in a warm, gay blanket, and going into this book it was exactly what I needed. It was warm, it was comforting, it was jarring, it was uncomfortable, it was like lying on a cloud or dancing with rainbows. It was so vibrant. The shift from the scenes in the city to the scenes in Marsyas felt like switching from black and white to a world of technicolour. The character creation was beautiful, and watching them blossom over the course of the book felt like I was watching something wonderful happening before my very eyes.
I don’t feel like I can give this book a more solid review. It was perfect. It was a feeling more than a thought. I loved every moment of it.
