Maybe I’m stupid, but I didn’t fully understand this. I did enjoy the commentary on bullying and war, but other than that this was fine. Also there’s a lot of slurs used which I didn’t like.

bookish_houseplant's review against another edition

I was itching for magical realism and love the way AS King writes it. I've had this book for a while so I thought I'd try it. I just really am over reading from the perspective of teenage boys. It's written well but the story is not for me. Plus the SA, although not exactly explicit, bothered me quite a bit.

Wow. What a great read!

I’m still processing this book, as I have just literally finished it, so more to come later.

Just know, wow. Wonderful.
