i just love this trilogy so much, the art style is just so adorable i wanna eat it. and the characters and the story is sooo good

i enjoyed this, felt very much a story about colonization and preserving your indigenous culture and land

found it way more fun to learn with comics than regular textbooks

i think i and Holly just click, everything she writes I devour and LOVE it! this one was just soo good, so twisty, I had some theories but many stuff I didn;t expect, I found Bel to be a very unique character and I liked her psyche she felt very realistic of a kid/teen with abandonment issues. everything about this book was mwah and loved the ending

pretty well-researched and mind-opening we really need to do better and its ridiculous we women are so sidelined in this age!!!

made me cry near the end, Jessica you did an awesome job girly! loved listening to the audiobook!

it was pretty good and captured my attention which is more than most nonfiction books do. i like Tracy, will check her podcast out

i wish i read it physically too while listening to the audiobook cause I lost some points... but it was really good and interesting. i like how the Caffe can be healing for people even though it doesn't change the present or maybe the future.

I got this as an arc from the author about 2 years ago and only now was I able to finish reading it... yikes. sorry.
the book's premise was my jam! I love PJO and ATLA is my favorite show on the planet but this book didn't do it for me. the issue is in the execution, in the pacing and the book has too much exposition and not enough showing things... which bothers me. also, the MC tries so hard to be unlike the other girls it's a bit annoying. and she's quirky which I'm fine with, but it's too much sometimes. the way she talks is cringe... anyways the ending hooked me though, but can't say I'll continue when I did;t really enjoy this one sadly... best of luck though!

i have mixed feelings about this, but i'm rounding it up to 4 stars for the autistic and Palestinian rep!
i found Jessie to be a complicated character, like I liked her and felt protective over her but damns he was stupid sometimes. and I'm not being ableist, I'm autistic myself but she was infuriating in her love drama. i guess I just don't have tolerance to weird teen dramas...spoiler I was in Griffin's side from the beginning so Levi killed me... he was so annoying and only physically attractive to Jessie which I HATED! anyways I found the autisticness pretty relatable except I have the I dont care about romances autism... found the plot too repetitive... the school as supposed to be religious but kids were making out in public?! also everyone was so obsessed with romance/sex it felt very weird and disturbing for 15 yos! alsooooo I felt like I really wanted to know Jessie more... more of her relationship with family and friends and her special interests and stuff... not just boys...
