This was just so sweet. The sapphic romance was wonderful, and there was great character development despite there being only 50 odd pages! This is definitely a children's book so go into it expecting the story etc. to be aimed at that age group. Docked 0.75 stars because while it was fun, I'm not buzzing about it.

This was so soft and cute and I need more woc in fantasy pleaseeeeeeee
My only nitpick is that some plotlines felt underdeveloped/rushed. I liked that there wasn't homophobia/lesbophobia in this, but I thought there would be more moments with Sadie and Amira.
And I would love to read another 50+ pages about Amira, Sadie, Celeste, Oliver and their adventures! (Prince Butthead is cool too, I guess.)
