This book was a fun read but didn’t live up to my hopes.
The Good:
This leans horror comedy with lots of funny one-liners, references and cute fantastical characters. The world is visually interesting and the concept of transformation is great. There is queer and nonbinary representation. Themes around mental health are touched on in a good way and play a big role for one of the group.
The Bad:
There are a lot of half plot lines that are introduced but don’t really go anywhere. It tries to pack too much into a short package to properly get into everything.
Overall:
I think this one is definitely worth reading. I think I would have LOVED this as a fleshed out story. The world is very interesting but with so many moving parts, I felt like I wasn’t getting enough of any of it.
