Whelp. I have found myself sucked in by the hype. I'll be honest...I was not feeling the premise on this one. I really didn't think I'd like it much. But there were so many people talking about it that I just had to jump on that hype train. And I was not disappointed.

This is a super fun read with a completely unique atmosphere and plot. I have ZERO familiarity with fencing, so there was some technical talk that left me in the dust, but the narrative itself was enjoyable. The characters are super diverse and fun. I love the attitudes and the friend groups. The art is adorable and captures the story well, including those things that are left unsaid.

Hype worth listening to.
