Lumberjanes: Unicorn Power! by Mariko Tamaki
3.0
A nice quick read! Started and finished this in a day. I loved the characters as always and the story was interesting. Maybe because I'm used to these characters and stories written in graphic novel format, this felt a little drawn out and like lots of bits were added just to take up space and make it longer but it was still good.
One thing I wasn't so comfortable with was the Cloudies being referred to as "it"s, especially as the illustrations seemed to imply they had dark skin. I don't see why they couldn't have just been given they/them pronouns like Barney uses. It seemed very dehumanizing, whether these characters were intended to be human or not, they were certainly human-esque. They were really cute otherwise though. Fun book! Will continue to work my way through this series. :)
