I marked it down a bit from 4 star. I don’t mind the characters Doff & Upsher, but their subplot bores me a bit. It feels like their scenes drag on and it slows the pace for me. Ginny’s scene was fine, but the Zlote scene was a bit meh. Is it their journalistic dialogue? I don’t know. Maybe a me problem and not the book’s problem.

Guard Ghüs & Friendo 🥹

Squire and Hazel are still so innocent and precious for this world universe. 

Hey The Will, you okay there, man? Your mind seems a bit clouded.

This is my favorite volume in the Saga series so far. I'm gearing up for the return of this extensive series next year, and I'm almost caught up. In volume 6, I think the time jump did the story some favors, and it returned some hope for these characters' futures that had been sorely lacking previously. So what was there to love, in the vaguest, non-spoilery-ish sense?

1. The beginnings of a conversation on gender identity, particularly for those outside society's categorization or those whom others willfully miscategorize
2. The return of Izabel, my favorite fictional babysitter
3. The arrival of Hazel as an active participant in the plot
4. A teacher who doesn't suck (go, team! give that woman a raise and some actual time for herself!)
5. The return of my favorite reporters and their mission to uncover the truth/story of a lifetime while dodging homophobia
6. Last but not least, I offer an ode to Marko's brief flirtation with a beard. Alana told him to lose it, and she has never made a more foolish choice. Did she SEE him? Did she miss the swoon-inducing qualities of Marko with a beard and a sword/shield combo?? Is she trying to punish me by removing it from the page so soon? These are my questions.
