Thank you so much to Netgalley and to the publisher for providing me with an advanced reading copy of this book. Y'all this book is so so good I adored it!!!! From the very first page, I found myself captivated by this story. It felt oddly familiar and refreshingly original at the same time. The world-building was not only unique but also incredibly accessible, making it easy for me to immerse myself in the story something I typically struggle with. The characters were incredible. Sean in particular stands out as a very fun character, she was amusingly unlikable & very compelling. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed being in her head despite how inssuferable she gets. Ikasa on the other hand quickly became my favorite; I empathized with her struggles & related deeply to her journey of learning to stand up for herself I loved witnessing her growth throughout the story. I also loved the dolls featured in the story; each one we encountered felt distinct and precious in its own right. There is clearly still so much left to explore in this world considering how the story concluded. and while I’m unsure if the author intends to expand on this universe further, I sincerely hope she does.
