Lots of characters to keep track of. I honestly think I’d like it more on a second read. Fun plot, fun characters, that game was just hard for this poor mortal to comprehend on the first go

This book could have ended sooner. I with the author did some things different with the plot and overall lineage of the book, but it was a fun read. I love that I got to read basically every genre in one book. The idea of short stories strung together with a central plot was very fun, I just feel like that central plot got lost in the middle.

Hard to rate as an adult. I never read this series as a child but I love the story. It’s very much a kids book. An extraordinary kids book
