Staggeringly beautiful. I questioned whether Klune would be able to aim as high as Cerulean, but I stand very much corrected. This adventure is just as soulful, healing, and family-oriented as the first. Klune’s writing in this book, in my humble opinion, offers the world one of the best examples of how to use fiction to simplify intricate human emotions and experiences and call out injustice in a loving way. I say, Klune must have some magic himself to be able to pull off such a splendid feat.
