THIS BOOK. I don't know if it just got to me at the right time or what, but wow this book felt so perfect. I think I cried during most if not every chapter. The world/setting is so beautiful, but by far what shines the most is the characters and their relationships. I love the kids' dynamic with each other and with Arthur and Linus and Zoe - each relationship feels distinctive. Especially Sal, his arc was so sweet! And of course, Arthur and Linus are just so heartwarming. It's hard to write about why I loved this so much, but I know I'll be coming back to this over and over!
