This series really explores the ties between humanity, storytelling, and the question of who and what possesses a soul. The energy is very ‘is this a found family or a polycule’ but not in a cringe way. They all contain different kinds of love for each other. They also can contain multiple types of love and not act or express certain ones. 

This book was not perfect but it did make me shed tears out of my real life eyes.

The pace wasn't quick enough for me, and there are a few loose ends (maybe two), in my opinion, and I don't love that.
