the book has generally a light tone and does not dwell on painful events too long (it focuses more on institutional violence)—many of the characters have previously been through traumatic events and are healing, so though we hear about their traumas, we don't experience them in real time with the narrative. a lot of the minor content warnings are for graphic threats made by a disturbed child and do not reflect events in the book. if you can read "alice in wonderland," you can read this.

I'm so FREAKIN HAPPY 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm pretty sure this book was the purest, most wholesome thing I have ever read.
What a beautiful, hilarious, perfect story. I loved every single bit of it. The whimsical was perfectly balanced with the serious, and all the relationships brought me so much joy. So so so so highly recommend ❤❤

I haven’t cried this hard while reading since The Invisible Life of Addie Larue — this book is absolutely beautiful. When I started reading, I was not enthralled. I hated boring, stuffy, rule-abiding Linus and I thought the children were too similar to those in Ms. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. What I didn’t know was how deeply I was going to fall in love with Linus, Arthur, Zoe, Helen, Lucy, Chauncey, Phee, Talia, Theodore, Sal, and Calliope. This book weaves a tale that on the surface is about magical orphans deserving to be cared for properly but at its depths is a critique of all types of bigotry, a call to action for doing what’s right even when it’s scary, and a manifesto about loving yourself no matter what the world thinks of you.

I completely feel in love with this book. I adore the characters and the setting, and I loved the whole idea of fantasy and magic in an otherwise normal world. I loved that the whole sentiment of the story was about equality no matter who or what you are, but also that you don’t have to be content with a boring life simply because it’s ‘normal’. Something so really loved was how each of Linus’ relationships with the people on the island changed. Sal went from being terrified of him to being someone he looks up to, Chauncey went from someone who was though to be a ‘monster’ to a bellhop after Linus tells him he can do anything. Phee was so kind to him and even made him a little flower! And Theodore taking all of his buttons then showing him is hoard! And the two scenes of him first coming to the island and then returning, of him and Talia in the garden and her threatening ti kill him, but lovingly! And him and Lucy bonding over music! And him being so amazing after people were cruel to him and his nightmare! Linus and Zoe and mlm and wlw solidarity, I love them. Honestly, Linus and Arthur and the goddamn DEFINITION of true love. I love all the little moments between them, Linus thinking about his laugh and his smile, Arthur saying he loves that Linus is ‘just him’ and their kiss was just *chef’s kiss*. I also really loved how T.J Klune peppered in things about the phoenix before Arthur revealed it was him, like how he knew one and all. I also loved how Linus reacted to him, he was just so in love!! Them two are jus t the perfect dad’s and I love them all so much.
