whilst this was enjoyable and i loved the characters, culture, magic and atmosphere, the plot felt very flimsy to me. and also just kind of boring? it sort of felt like a second thing to the novel itself. also, this read more middle grade than ya to me which put me off a little

i really loved the magical realism and the mix of stories with actions and how it motivated the characters, very cool to see! also kirby is a sweetheart <3

definitely more a me thing than a book thing!
