Reread: and, have little else to add to my original review. Only that we have a brave and sassy female MC that really carries the story with her wittiness and good heart.
I can't understand such bad reviews. This is a well thought fantasy story with intriguing and super creative magic, world building, and characters, whom although not extensively introduced still made me feel close to them, especially as the book goes. It is a short book and maybe could have been more descriptive to introduce more details and depth however I still really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next one.

Were you looking for a Magic School Bus look inside of the heart? This is that book. Typically, one character on a solo mission can be boring, but this was great! I wish I hadn't had the Magic School Bus theme song in my head the whole time though...

Enjoyable book, but feels a bit lacking in something.. not sure what. Interesting take on paper magic, but also a bit too childish in parts

I really enjoyed this. Gave me cottagecore vibes before stuff went down. Also, there's a paper dog so that's a plus.
