I liked this book in general. it is great for younger audiences. I loved the hunger games and enjoyed those vibes. however it is hard to stradle the fantasy/dystopian/real world line. I think he did the best he could making real world LGBTQ+ issues connect in a fantasy world and I enjoyed the representation. however the nods to fake social media or things like that were just too much and took me out of the book world into real life. but younger kids would eat it up as I never complained about this for harry potter and def see it as an adult.

not sure if I will read the sequel.
