I was honestly worried that I was unable to enjoy YA fantasy as much anymore because I have had a run in with a streak of mediocre books, but I really did love this book. I mean, it’s still meant for a group of people younger than me so I definitely took that into account when rating it. I loved the fat representation in this book, as well as the fact that it wasn’t gonna shy away from emotional moments. I really wish I had read this in high school when I really needed to see someone of my size in a fantasy book. Anyway, my brain is melted from exams in school so this isn’t totally coherent but what can you do
