I'm gonna need a minute to wrap my head around a review. 

It was nice to pop back into the Divergent universe, it's been almost 10 years since I finished Allegiant. Kinda makes me want to re-read the series but I'm not sure I'm over the ending yet. Maybe I'll feel differently now, who knows? Maybe, if I get ahead of my challenge goal, I'll pull them out again. 

Thought-provoking in the best way. 

I've developed favorite characters! Now I'm scared for their safety. 😅 But I'm so in love with this world. Each volume takes you on a roller coaster of emotion. It's sweet, inspiring, scary, sad, breath-taking, gripping, dark, humorous, adorable, and just so beautiful to read. I'm sooooo glad this series was recommended to me. 🥰

These cliffhangers! 🫣 It's official, I'm hooked. 

My first manga! I'm hooked and utterly distraught that I have to wait for the next 4 volumes to arrive from some library other than my own. 😭 This fills up my Ghibli loving heart and I am putting this on my To Buy list.

This is my 3rd trek through fiction with Neil Gaiman, and while I did enjoy the story, it doesn't top either Stardust or Coraline. Perhaps my own sentimental attachments are to blame but that's usually the case with me. 
I will say that I was intrigued enough to be left wanting more. I however don't often enjoy being left wanting. On the same token, I'm not even sure what more I'd want from it. I just don't feel quite satisfied though, even after listening to the bonus material interview - although I did enjoy that addition very much. 
I am a big fan of Children protagonists and their viewpoints, especially as a mother of a 7 year old. I tried to put him into the place of the boy with no name and imagine how he would navigate the events of the book. There's just something magical and free about a child's perspective that I'll always value.
