Kinda mid ngl. Couldn't connect even though Gabi was pretty much me when I was 13, both of us were simply too annoying. At least that means teenagers are portrayed accurately bc teenagers are cringe and annoying ig?

For brief ableism, it is unchallenged use of OCD to describe being organized (/neat?). For moderate child death,intherightlight's review

Amazing and a joy to read. Another break from the RRP rhythm of 'child of gods finds where myth world and human world intersect', this one had little in the way of folklore but much in the way of familial love and support. Like Gabi's many fathers, reading this felt like being adopted into a family and wanting to see them excel. It was fun, funny, and melancholic enough to ground it without breaking its rhythm. Children are lucky to have this one.

Read from March 3, 2020 to April 27, 2020. Made it to 88.22% or page 337/382 before quarantine started, and cancelled my motivation plan. The library just reopened to do curbside pick-up, reactivating my motivation to finish the book, so I could turn it in and check out "Crooked Kingdom". Finished, finally (!), on December 9, 2020. Read from Chapter 39 to the epilogue using the audiobook through the Libby app; read the rest (the first portion) on my own.
