4.5 stars! Amazing as usual. I loved the continuation of this trilogy, and it felt just as good reading this as it did when I read the first book. I am SO happy that TJ decided to write more in this world! I loved getting to know things from Arthur's point of view. I also loved that I hated "she who will not be named" as much as I did. Is it weird to enjoy hating a character? Well, that's what happened. The ending felt like a warm hug, and the scene with the Birt Gift made me tear up. So, so good! I read this and listened at the same time, and Daniel Henning narrated this exquisitely! 
challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

Such a beautiful collection of Poems. I bought this book specifically because I wanted a banned book, and I chose this one because the first few poems grabbed me immediately. It felt like I went through a lifetime of emotions from beginning to end. Even though this is a fast read, and the poems are not very long, I had to stop and think and feel. This was so amazing and I'd love to read more of Rupi's books.

What a wonderful start to a new series! The magic is awesome, and I love that there is magic everywhere but hidden. I enjoyed getting to know Leopold and I think I love Isabel. There is also something so special about Emmet and the friendship he has with Leopold. Richter is an awful asshole and I hate him. The characters are all fantastic! Also, can I be best friends with Norm please? The story was so engaging, that when I got to the end, I was shocked and disappointed (in a good way). There is so much to be clarified, so many questions, and so much I'm looking forward to finding out in the next book(s). 
adventurous

I really enjoy this! The three MCs were all distinct and interesting. The romance was a nice, slow burn without being too slow. There were some politics which I usually don’t enjoy but it wasn’t too much and didn’t bother me. The magic was a different than expected  but a bit of avatar-like. I’m excited to start the next book and find out where the characters go and what they do! 

A very satisfying conclusion to this duology. The characters had good growth and things were wrapped up nicely. 
adventurous funny

TJ Klune is seriously the best at writing hilarious gay banter! I was laughing so hard at some of the conversations in this book that I had tears in my eyes! I think the “enema lesson” will be the funniest scene I ever read! I loved this conclusion to the trilogy so much. 

I simply adore TJ's writing. Whether he's writing silly YA banter, heartfelt romance with werewolves, or afterdeath realizations with ghosts, it's all amazing. I went into this book with a very vague sense of what it was about, because I've owned it since it was published and just wanted to catch up with all of TJ's backlog (I still have a lot to go!). I cried and laughed and loved this story so much. I still think about it. I think it even helped me a little with understanding and getting through my own grief. I highly recommend this book. Also, the narration was fantastic!

I really enjoyed this. Dave kept the positivity throughout his memoir, even when life was dark and messy. I appreciated hearing his voice, not only through the words on the page but literally through the audio book. 
adventurous funny

This was funny, delightful and full of puns! I really enjoyed it. It also had heartwarming friendships and character evolutions.

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No

Admittedly I didn’t actually enjoy this book, but wait! It was sad, dark and tough subject matter… so I didn’t enjoy it but I did need to know what was happening and how the story would conclude. This was quite an interesting and captivating take on World War 1 and what the war did to the people in it. I would say the ending was as happy as it could be for the MC’s, with the reality of the after effects of war.
