A found family trope never fails to make my heart warm.

The book melted me the way Linus bubble popped. Themes of the book aren't new but it still bring new to the table. Characters are lovely. I'm obsessed with them now thanks author. It is more than just a warm gay blanket (I'm looking at you V.E. Schwab).

Just a perfect book!! This is huge praise coming from someone who doesn’t typically gravitate towards fantasy-type stories. I LOVED this one. It’s such beautiful commentary on love, loss, grief, prejudice, standing up to bullies, and found family. I teared up multiple times and giggled just as many. I can’t wait to read more of Klune’s books.

This book was a quick read. J enjoyed it and felt driven to finish it, but found it to be a little cheesy. The symbolism is very overt. Neither of these are criticisms, this book would be a 5 star read for someone who enjoys a light, cheesy read. It just wasn't my style.

I gave it 3.5 stars because I thought it was a good book, but didn't feel that I took things as deep, as it could have had a bit more world-building and character development and it felt like it relied on pre-conceived stereotypes surrounding foster children, adoptive families, immigrant rights, and the holocaust. However, I really liked the themes on internalized fatphobia and diet culture, queer themes, and the fact that it was a quick read that I could enjoy during a time when I needed a less thought-

Ohhhh this book. It’s like if 1984 (though not as intensely) and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (but with a more mythical creatures focus instead of superpowers) had a baby and I loved it. The beginning was certainly slow, but by the end I found myself loving the children and Arthur as much as Linus did. Yes, I wish I was there too
