I initially liked this a lot-still loving Amphibia and seeing how The Owl House took heavy influence from it.
This...isn't quite that ultimate lore guide that should happen. Too much recycled materiel from the show's episodes themselves, not enough about Newtopia(and Marcy would be fixated on the city since she loves it), and some unfortunate implications like Anne victim blaming herself for Sasha's evil actions, Sasha's evil blamed on divorce anxiety, and no indication Anne was mourning Marcy when she likely would have.
