Excellent world building and great character development. It was a pleasure to read and see the hope building in this world. I enjoyed the variety of characters, and it made the world building entertaining.

A beautiful book encircled by the profound impact of love and change.

Snoozer

This book was the best choice for a warm fuzzy read at Christmas. Can’t thank TJ Klune for writing this. Being part of the LGBTQ community, I can appreciate the joy of chosen family and finding love in a place when you least expect it.

Kline has written perhaps the single most heartwarming, beautiful work of art that there is to experience in the fantasy genre. This book is an 11/10 and is worth every minute spent reading it- it is a treatise on the joys of life and the choices we are privileged to make in them!

What DEI drivel. Just plain garbage.

This is hands down the most beautiful book I’ve read this year. It’s brimming with warmth and filled with valuable, uplifting lessons that are easy to overlook in everyday life. I was completely captivated and couldn’t put it down.

I simply adored this book, and that is coming from a non-reader. As someone who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community, I found the message against hate, prejudice, and judgement resonate with me in a way words can barely describe. If you are thinking of reading this book, I suggest it, if you aren’t, I suggest hat you are.

And all the other descriptive adjectives. Truly enjoyed the 2nd reading as much as the 1st. Linus really danced on my nerves but he redeems himself.

What a delightful book! I can’t wait for the next one!

Saccharine, cutesy, inclusive, uncomplicated, unsophisticated. Read this while on vacation with annoying family, maybe it’ll help you appreciate their weirdness more. All in all I was bored but understand why it was recommended, I guess.

The story characters were so amazing. The book started out slow but once Lucy was introduced I could not put the book down. Each page I turned reminded me of differences in people and how important respect not judgement is in all lives and places. Loved this book so much. Such a sweet happy ending.

This book will make you want a family more than any other book ever has

This book is such an easy read and the story is super cute and wholesome. Helped me get out of a reading funk!

What charming characters, and such light in a world that can feel so serious and heavy at times. It’s a feel good read!

I loved this story so much. The imagery and the fun throughout is incredible.

I enjoyed this story. I wish the author had shown us a little more about why the supporting characters liked the protagonist so much. I’m afraid we didn’t get the charm Linus was supposed to possess even in his stuffiness. That being said, the story moves easily and has themes of oppression, being othered, and misfits finding chosen family.

I was skeptical at first, then thought another Ms. Pedigree book.. but I must admit.. considering my early dislike. I very much love the book. Love how the author portrays it to heart.. Definitely one of my fav books of all time. I would tell anyone to read this book.

Someone described this book as a hug and I concur wholeheartedly. Just the warmest, coziest embrace of a story. Thank you TJ Kline for blessing us with this lovely world, adventure, and characters. An absolute gem.
