I love these graphic novels! This one felt a little too rushed for my liking though.

I liked how this was told through multiple characters' perspectives. They were each so different but I could appreciate them all. I did have an issue with the pacing of the story. It was moving at a good speed then it felt sort of rushed toward the end. I can't wait for the sequel. I grew to love these characters and I want to follow them on their next adventure.

This was good. I liked the character development from Marigold. I didn't like the ending. It felt like it needed an epilogue at the least. There were also some parts that felt rushed, but overall the pacing wasn't too bad. I was hooked on this story and had to keep reading to find out what was going on and what was going to happen. I just want to know what happened after all the chaos. I need some type of closure.

Kamilah and Liam!!! 🥰❤ These two have my heart! This story was so wonderful, definitely a new favorite of mine!
I am sad about Kamilah's friendship with *spoiler* ending and no resolution coming after, but it also made sense realistically.

This is a story I wish I would've had when I was a kid. I'm excited to see what happens next. There was a lot of world building in this but it didnt feel excessive. I found the revealing of Brigit's parent to be predictable but there were other unpredictable things that happened that left me surprised so it balanced out.
