I loved it so much there’s like literally no plot but it’s perfect. If you like spending time in a lovely, imaginative, expansive world with characters that feel like true friends, this book is for you.

I loved this book! It's super fun, thoughtful, and enjoyable. I found it to be a really great mix of adventure/plot, philosophical questions, and queer found family. It's a page-turner with a lot of heart, and I definitely want to keep reading the rest of the series.

This book made me realize I've been reading just to count books, not always for the stories. This was such a beautiful exploration in world building and cultural differences. Forget every other fictional destination, I just wanna be in the Fishbowl. The characters are all so fully developed, I can barely pick a favorite (Dr. Chef is up there, though). I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series, hopefully before the 4th one comes out in April.

i genuinely fucking ADORE this book. it’s legitimately one of my favorites of all time. it’s fun and well written, with a wide range of characters and incredible worldbuilding. like,, the amount of smart and interesting concepts included in this universe is amazing. i saw that a lot of other commenters where complaining about the lack of conflict, which i get to a certain extent, but i actually really enjoy the almost slice-of-life style plot for a relatively large portion of the plot. this book is very character driven and focused, which is one of my absolute favorite things in a book. i might come back later and elaborate more on what i love about this book & my criticisms for it, as well as maybe add elaborations for content warnings, but this is all for now
