It’s so casually Latine & queer in such a delightful way. The main character (Seven) is relatable and just the right amount special/Chosen One without becoming too perfect. She’s followed around my a pack of raccoons!! Their names are things like Cheese and Breadstick and Tostone and they love her!!
There are so many great lines in this. “You never know when you’ll need an evil-detecting rat” — so true!!
This sequel does a good job of reminding readers what happened in the first book (there was a lot!). It makes things a tiny bit clunky in the beginning, but overall I think it’s really well-done. I definitely put this down a bunch of times — it wasn’t something I read through all in one go, for whatever reason. I think maybe because the intensity doesn’t really ratchet up in a typical way — it’s more episodic with cute and intense moments interspersed throughout. Which is actually very nice and cozy! But also makes it feel less like you *have* to keep reading.
Thanks to Scholastic for this book!! They sent me an ARC AND a finished copy, which is just so nice. I have no idea what I did to deeerve it....more
