Okay this was cute? But also I kind of wanted more 😭😂

This had the perfect amount of spooky and whimsical—blending horror and fantasy to create and atmospheric setting! Loved the queer, diverse fast as well. Though I feel like some of the pacing and the build up of characters and the drama were a bit off.

I also feel like it ended abruptly? Like in an open ending kind of way. Which is a shame because it wasn't until near the end that we started learning more about the characters and their inner struggles.

Love the art style and the colors as well! I feel like these really captured the otherworldliness of the strange new realm. I would have liked to know more about that world-building though!

Overall, this was fun and entertaining. But it also got deep and introspective, which was definitely a plus for me.

Exact rating: 3.75⭐️

(Received an e-arc via NetGalley! This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.)
