5.0

This is my second time reading this book and it is still such a delight. Elliot is obnoxious and lovable. He's perceptive and intelligent, while at the same time oblivious to how others' perceive him - especially as he grows and matures. 

And while I adore Elliot and his (mis)adventures the most, I also deeply love how the author has built this world that's filled with magical creatures and adventure, but also militaristic hubris and sexism and xenophobia. 

So good. No notes.
