Well. I did not realize how terrifying giant squids are. o.o

I feel like this picture book is more for the parents than it is for the kids but also L O L

This was cute. :)

OMG this is a trans allegory and I love it.

This...had a ton of problems. I'll write a longer review when I get the chance.

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING OMG
Also it's about how blood isn't the only thing that make families and stereotypes (including gender stereotypes!) are not everything.
I LOVE THIS A LOT

That ending gave me chills, and made me giggly, and gave me warm fuzzies on a stressful af day so that's an automatic 5 stars.

Also the rest was really good too. 😊

This was so cute and fun with a dash of creepy. Definitely recommended!

So, that was adorable.

This was cute until it got all heteronormative with the monster that wasn't scary because it wore nail polish and “boy monsters are for boys and girl monsters are for girls” eye roll.

I KNEW it wasn't a good idea to read this so far away from the sequel release but I did it anyway.
I have so many regrets.
Nine of them, to be precise.
One for each month I still have to wait before reading A CONJURING OF LIGHT.
melts into a puddle of want

I love this series so much. So so much.

Also waiting for book three next year is gonna be killer.

This was so fun! I really enjoyed Farah's fascinating (and delicious-sounding) journey through The Gauntlet. Don't read this while you're hungry; those food descriptions are to die for.

Can't wait to see more from Karuna! :D

Loved this just as much as ADULTHOOD IS A MYTH. I need more.

Ha ha ha ha okay this was quick and hilarious (and SO REAL omg). Recommended for a laugh.

3.5/5

Pretty mad they killed off one of the few openly queer characters in this volume, tbh.

3.5/5 stars. Still really confused about what's going on but also can't stop reading sooo...
