This was fun! The writing and plot are a little more simplistic than I like, but the reveals/twists are very satisfying (predictable, but well-executed). And I love the casual diversity; it's a little heavy-handed with one couple of explicit conversations about pronouns, but otherwise it's pretty matter-of-fact (and for a 2016 release, you could even call it ahead of its time). Each of the characters is so precious, I want to wrap them up in blankets and make the world safe and nice for them.

I can definitely see why everyone lauds this series — I couldn't put it down, and as I write this review I've actually already started the second book!
