    What an incredible finale to Warriors: The Prophecy Begins! Firestar's growth and maturity (though a bit abrupt) was extremely satisfying to reach after all these books, the plot was fast paced and honestly had me on the edge of my seat at points, and I was actually really intrigued with how dark some moments in the book got. I've really enjoyed getting to appreciate this middle grade book series from an adult perspective - it's genuinely surprising to realize the extent of the themes folded into it (immigration, fascism, racism, xenophobia, mental health, aging, disability, familial estrangement and conflict, chosen family) and this book was no exception. I didn't plan to continue to the next series in the universe but after this book, I absolutely will.

    Thoughts from 5% (page 6, end of Frontispiece: 16th and Hieratica) - buckling up

    Look, I read a good deal of fantasy, and I am legitimately struggling to liken the experience of this first chapter to any other I've ever read. Lush, grimy, enchanted, industrial, at once elusive and like tar. It feels like trying to run in a dream. I think the narrator and I are now in a relationship? I'm freaking out.

    Loved this one! A perfect continuation & expansion of the world we already experienced in The Spellshop. For me this one is bumped up to five stars because the FMC and the greenhouse was just what I wanted.

    As readers we go on and on about relatable characters, but honestly I want an extroverted FMC like Terlu who says what’s on her mind. There’s not inability to communicate between these two! It saved me a lot of stress.

    Reading weekend #5: Book #2
