Review: I did not love this, unfortunately. I didn’t think I’d be super into it at first, but a bunch of people said they loved it so I was excited, but it didn’t hold up for me. I felt that there was a loooot of information that was maybe a bit of overkill (like yes I get world building, but some stuff we did not need). The characters were very flat and cliche for me, and I’m not always mad about cliche but there was a lot in this book that didn’t work. The book was a lot of escapism from poverty and not fitting in, but also had some problematic things to say or allude to about poverty, which were also contradictory of some other pieces in the book. There was also some harmful language in here and I just didn’t love it. I don’t think this was the worst ever and I get why people like it but to me it felt kind of pretentious and surface level.
