    I've been following Dylan since the start of her 'Days of Girlhood' series on TikTok and I have to say that I really enjoyed this book, it was a really quick read and it helped to get me out of a little reading slump. I do have to say that it's a little bit noticeable that it's her first book, but it's a really good first book. I think there's room for improvement but if she wants to publish another book, I think she is in good hands with the team that worked on this book with her. That being said, I did notice a lot of things that I would have edited different to make this more enjoyable and that would add a little bit more insight on her struggles and experiences (I couldn't avoid thinking about these things while I was reading it, editor brain I guess), I think this reads a little bit too much like a podcast so maybe if I listen to the audiobook it would be less noticeable. If I ever feel like rereading this I will probably try with the audiobook.

    I cried a lot with this one, it really got to me. It's beautiful in every sense; the story, the characters, the illustrations, everything. Tien and Helen's relationship is the hightlight of the book, and Claire and Julian are the bestest friends ever!!

    just started this as part of the Tarot readathon this year, i've been looking for a quick fantasy read and this is a standalone so i hope it's good. i also hope the audiobook won't confuse me too much, we'll see
