C: the characters were super adorable and diverse, i liked how they were described, i didn' really felt connected though & i personally don't really vibe with linus
W: some feelings and situations felt over-explained, sometimes it left way too hopeful und overly positive, especially towards the end i sometimes cringed at some of the dialogues and writing
P: the second half the story kinda dragged on, the over all outcome was very foreseeable
I: at first, i couldn't put it down and towards the end the only motivation to read was to get this book done.
E: in the beginning i really enjoyed it, was alright over all, glad that i read it, wouldn't read again

Um livro bastante leve e descontraído. É muito bom e tem uma história simples que deixa o coração quentinho. O livro tem um tom bastante infantil, então, embora tenha sido reflexivo, pareceu-me uma reflexão escrita para crianças. Além disso, o personagem Linos me irritou muito com a visão de algumas coisas dele. Ele recomendou que 5 orfanatos fossem fechados, mas nunca sentiu a necessidade de acompanhar a resolução disso porque não era o trabalho dele (a recomendação não implica que sera acatada). Mas ele aparentemente se importa com a qualidade de vida das crianças (???) Mas não questiona nada nunca. Claramente é uma pessoa que tem muita fé no sistema, embora ele seja crítico de religiões.
Além disso, acho muito estranho que o livro se passa no planeta Terra, na nossa sociedade. Isso tira a gente um pouco do livro porque não conseguimos entender a transição de inexistência de seres mágicos, pra existência e preconceito e depois existência (e preconceito) e regulação.
Ri diversas vezes, adorei as crianças e o final foi emocionante.

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.
