A treat for any Amphibia fan! Note that this book does take place over the course of the series, so it would be best to read once finished with the TV series.

Marcy's journal provides a fun and introspective look at the events of Amphibia through her and Anne's internal monologue. It was neat to learn more about Marcy's time in Newtopia, but boy the dramatic irony of her going into her friendship with Andrias and explaining her guilt does get a little emotional at times when you know what's coming.

I was hoping to see a bit more encyclopedia like entries, since Marcy is a known dissector of information and will write literally anything interesting down. But I get you want to make this most appealing to the kids who watch the show. 

There are times when Marcy (and Anne once the journal flips to her POV) describe their relationships with the other girls and honestly sometimes it goes deeper than it did in the show. They're able to verbalize their internal discoveries in a way that kind of hits harder? I dont' know if that's me misremembering the show or feeling more nostalgic towards it. Either way, you get an amazing view of their friendship in these pages.

The ending comes off a bit abrupt, but it makes sense given the reality of the situation. I'm glad that there an entry or two that tied into the epilogue of the show while also leaving a door open for a possible continuation. Don't tease us Matt!
