Not the perfect standalone that Cerulean was, but still a cozy, affirming read. The characters from book 1 that felt underdeveloped are more developed here, and the sweeties we know already still remain prominent. Klune is a true gem - the humour, joy, and unconditional love these books ooze is such a balm for the soul. Alternated between wanting to devour in one sitting and wanting to savour it for as long as I could.
