4.0

Want to read something that has the atmospheric tone of Pans Labyrinth and the quaint, magical feel of reading about The Burrow for the first time in Harry Potter?

Want to read something that serves you both a portly and pleasant witch who discerns messages through bubbles in her bath and also ominous water snakes guarding a mysterious island in the middle of farmland - snakes that may have faces…are those the faces of people? No, it can’t be. Can it?

Wanna feel both intense dread and intense whimsy?

I say, give this one a try lol

PS. If you liked Encanto, you’ll find something to like here, I just know it.
