You just know you’re in for a cozy read as soon as you pick up a TJ Klune book, and In The Lives of Puppets was no exception.

I love how he writes dialogue, always funny and heart warming. His characters are unmatched and always complete a full arc by the end of the story. I also loved the ace rep!

This story was packed with adventure, more than his other two adult novels and I really enjoyed that change. Something about this one, however, was hard to get into and it didn’t leave me with the same feeling of awe as the other two. That didn’t keep my from enjoying it at all and will miss the characters deeply - especially Nurse Ratched and Rambo!
