You know that feeling when you watch a movie based on a book; And you see how the book is probably great because the main plot and themes are great, but the movie just rushes things and doesn't take time to develop things enough for you to actually care? Yeah. That's what this felt like.
If it were a full length novel this could probably have been one of my favourite books of all time. I love the idea of a place helping kids that have come back from magical worlds, the LGBT+ rep is great (finally an asexual main character thank you!!), I loved that it was much darker than I expected, and the many themes quickly named that are great too.
But things just came and went by too fast, not developed enough (because of its length).
Also, not surprised much by the ending. That was disappointing.
I'm angry at how good this could have been if it were just developed more. IT COULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING !
