Every Bird a Prince

Perhaps this simply found me at the right time, but I adored this book. More aromatic representation is desperately needed, and this was a great version of it while also being a satisfying fantasy adventure that captures middle school almost too well. It definitely hits you over the head with its themes, but I didn't really mind that.

Characters - 10
All of the characters were unique and relatable, making this a very enjoyable read for me. The emotions the characters felt always made sense for their personalities too.

Atmosphere - 9
The atmosphere was amazing. The imagery used for the Resplendent Nest especially made it feel that much more real, authentic, and splendid.

Writing - 9
The writing was really immersive and easy to follow along, while still having good pacing and neat descriptions.

Plot - 10
I absolutely loved the story. It flowed nicely and I liked how the connection between the Resplendent Nest and the outside-of-the-woods world was created.

Intrigue - 9
There were a few parts that I figured out what was going to happen, but I suspect that's because I'm older than the target age for this book, and it still didn't break my immersion or anything.

Logic - 9
The book had a decent amount of a logic. A few jumps here or there that felt a little rushed, but nothing major.

Enjoyment - 10
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I didn't want to put it down and I felt myself smiling and laughing along as the characters succeeded in their journey. One of my favorite books this year for sure. :)
