5/5

I LOVE THE BACKSTAGERS WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!!!!!!!

I was so excited to find out about the novel tie-ins to the comics. And it lived up to all my hopes and dreams.

The magic of the comics was present and all the characters still felt like themselves.

I love that we got chapters from each of the characters and really got to know more about them and their personalities.

Beckett - such a caffeine addict and I am so proud of him and excited for his relationship.

Hunter - my sweet child, you poor overwhelmed cherub, but you are still the strong leader and sensitive guy that we all fell in love with.

Jory - my heart aches for Jory, but I absolutely adored him being able to find himself. It felt like such an important story.

Aziz - my baby, what a kind and fragile soul. I want to hug him all the time. Backstagers are allowed to be noticed. He needs to be protected.

Sasha - what a gem. He never fails to bring a smile to my face. HE FIXED SOMETHING. He’s the best, always.

I am loving Reo, the coolest character!!! It was so cool to have positive witch rep and his friendship with Jory was really special. I especially love his anime hat trick.

The Ghost Light was hauntingly beautiful, and as someone who recently lost a sister it really meant a lot to me. So very beautiful and sweet.

I loved this story and I cannot wait for the next one!!
