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 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.

so cute! i couldn’t put this book down, it just made my heart so happy. only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is i thought the last little bit of the book was a little off, seemed like the writing got lazy and the development of the characters was a little rushed. other than that, i loved all the characters and their relationships with each other. the world building isn’t confusing, but still cool!
