I love Brie and Felix together so much but I didn't love the amount of sex.  This one feels spicier than book 1, so if that's something you're looking for, you're in for a treat!

This world and characters have my heart though!  I'll read whatever Kimberly Lemming writes in this universe no matter the raunchiness!

I needed something lighthearted, and I'm a D&D nerd, so this was delightfully perfect!  I loved Cin and Fallon, and honestly, the whole crew.  I cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series immediately!

Everything about this graphic novel drew me in. Synopsis, cover, art style, but it was the writing and story that we follow in these pages that kept me invested and so intrigued.

Spencer's relationship with his father is so realistic and complex, and it can be a bit uncommon to see such vulnerability and nuance of familial relationships in comics.

This is brilliant in all it sets out to do, subverting tropes and showing Black and African American culture in absolutely pure excellence.

It was pure delight to see these characters again.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!  This may officially be my favorite Wayward Children portal world!  And that's saying a lot because The Moors exist, and I've always been drawn to that dark world.

I absolutely adored this so much. The characters, the store, the settings, it was just brilliant all around.  I really enjoyed how Seanan brought the readers along every step of this journey and discovery with the characters.  Sometimes, we're a step or three ahead of the characters, but this time, it felt like we were right there with Antsy.

What a fantastic addition to the Singing Hills Cycle! I loved the characters and the stories within the story and how they all connected with each other so brilliantly.

This is absolutely one of my favorite series, and I love being able to see what Chih and Almost Brilliant have been up to!

I'd love to hear more stories about the Riverlands one day too!  I hope Chih and Almost Brilliant go back one day.

Tough at times especially as I was dealing with my own anxiety and depression being heightened due to the grey days that Winter often brings.

DNF for now.  I'll get back to this around the holidays (hopefully, if I remember)

Listening to this via audio absolutely helped me take in what would typically be harder for me to read. Classics are rough. I liked this vampire story. 

As someone who's been lost in my own Sorrow Garden for so many years, this story broke me.  I read it slowly, savoring every word, and am trying to stamp Faerry and Whimsy's strength into my brain to call up when the Sorrow gets too great.

If I could give this novel more than 5 stars, I would.  I knew when I read Me (Moth) in 2021 that Amber Mcbride's storytelling is something special.

This story solidifies that thought.
