So not my typical genre but this post-apocalyptic remix of Alice in Wonderland was fascinating and fun and frightening and full of feels. Highly recommend.

Fascinating and honest and thought-provoking. A gentle warning that there are some comments which came across as biphobic to me which was disappointing.

I can't decide if this book is devastatingly brilliant or brilliantly devastating. Either way, I was deeply moved and strongly believe it should be essential reading for all parents and parents-to-be as it's the most beautiful lesson (and warning) about loving and seeing your children unconditionally.

A beautiful and nostalgic coming of age story and I feel like Razia will stay with me for a long time.

I am a little bit distraught that this series is over and am already planning a re-read of all three books once haunting season is one us. I simply adore Freydís Moon and can't wait to read whatever they write next.
