What a beautiful book. It’s whimsical, easy to get into and has a great world with fantasy elements.
Loved the different seas, moons and spores explanations.
The characters are all so loving. And carefully put together to complement the journey.

You ever had a friend who’d call you a million times to tell you something important, and when you call back they wanna tell you about it f2f? This book made me feel exactly like that.

I was on the verge of dnfing but pushed through because nothing better was going on in my life. The 3rd star is only for the last few pages. Thank god, the author decided to reveal at least a bit of the suspense they built up from the first book!
