From a technical perspective it's so cool and perfect! Every single thing comes back somehow or other, slevery little detail which you think is just for description or a joke.
YES, ESPECIALLY THE JOKES!
The reader keeps getting rewarded for each line of text they read previously and remember.
It's an amazing and beautiful book that makes you cry. It's about love, both romantic and platonic.
It's really smart, if you didn't get it already.
It's like a Chosen One book but not but yes.
The Chosen Ones come together to work together and break the curse on a land they don't even know that was cursed because of bad people a hundred years ago.
It's about destiny and love and doing the right thing and helping others and about children being harshly punished for things that they dd or didn't do, that were in or out fo their control, that they happened to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time or in the wrong situation
It's about stupid America's stupid racism and stupid war on homeless people and poor people and stupid broken systems and stupid government punishment and and stupid lack of accountability and stupid misogyny too.
It's a happy ending and not just a bittersweet ending, a happy ending which seems less and less possible as the story goes but it is a happy ending and I am grateful.
Another thing.
From a writing perspective.
It uses short sentences and is fast-paced and a short book, which might be the definition of a middle grade book.
As an amateur writer, it's cool to see this in action. Each line packs a punch and the shortness makes sure it hits.
