Good beginning though has some very cliche tropes: "I don't want to be a princess; I want to be a ___", " general Robin Hood storylines", and a really obvious twist. The artwork is cute (reminds me of Totally Spies), but the text is very small!

Anyway, I'm currently reading the second one, and it seems to have a much stronger (and more interesting) story.

The imagination behind this story is so much fun! Little animals or monsters come with screws and gears, and you can combine their parts like robots to create vehicles or other devices.

I enjoyed the storybook, manwha-like artwork a lot.

Overall, I think this had a great end to a stand-alone or a good beginning for a series. Kids are going to love all the bright colors and cute characters.

It needs to be said: Coro needed to be choked out!

I'm surprised there wasn't an explicit conversation where they acknowledge you can't just take someone's stuff and do whatever you want with it. This fool really took her stuff twice!

Honestly worth a read. Shows some insight into the Mexican cartel and some cold hard facts to some young people that romanticize the drug-dealing world and the consequences of being romantically involved with someone in that lifestyle. Of course, while interesting there are definitely times I was bored with unexciting details. Inadvertently, the glorification of riches and dirty money is present, but I suppose that comes with the territory. Pumping drugs into communities just has never sat right with me, but that's another topic.

now, this is real life, and no one's perfect but...Mia and Olivia made some bird-ish decisions. I just have to be honest. Some of it I don't even understand.
