The WHIMSY of this book goodness gracious OWGHGGDH... I picked this up not knowing it was aimed for a younger audience than expected, but honestly I still managed to enjoy it so much! Even though it reads like it's for a pre-teen age range it doesn't sanitize or decomplicate any of its plot or storybuilding elements which I'm really appreciate of. I thoroughly enjoyed the fairytale worldbuilding and adventure as a whole, the world feels so fleshed out and it makes the final ending of the story feel all the more meaningful. Aagh I absolutely loved the character development and the funny little cast of little fellows the main character gathers, and ngl I got SO hyped near the climax when

she starts kissing the frogs and amasses her little frog army

Overall SUCH a fun and lighthearted read, definitely takes time to get through but it's time I absolutely had fun getting through <3
