Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Wowza, the stakes are high in this one, especially for a middle grade novel. Be warned that Freeman includes some intense scenes relating to near death experiences and animal cruelty that had an extreme emotional impact on my 23-year-old self .
⁕ This is more of an examination of loneliness than it is an expansive exploration of plot and world-building. If you're someone who likes all the answers, you wont find them here.
⁕ I guess this book was written in a verse format? That obviously didn't always come through when listening to the audiobook, but it certainly put the copious amounts of classical poetry references that I was originally annoyed with into context.
