Stellar. The skewering of fantasy tropes and societal expectations was skillful, hilarious, and heartbreaking. 

I started the book having read only a few reader reviews and so found myself constantly thinking I’d plumbed the story’s depths…and then having to revise. 

**Just a note that I felt mislead by the occasional illustrations into thinking I was reading a book for middle graders.**
