This was a fun and quick story. Elements of it reminded me a bit of the more absurd elements of Scott Pilgrim. This story was very fast-paced, and sadly extremely light on the world building. The majority of focus is on the spelling competition and the backgrounds of the contestants. It focuses for the most part, only on the battle royale spelling bee. This novel isn't deep, it's very light-hearted and silly. The art style I did enjoy but the over use of yellow tones hurt my eyes. This is just a personal issue however!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
