Absolutely heartwarming. Who knew one of the best characters was going to be a sentient spider plant??

I loved this for all of its hopeful predictability. The way our characters found home and realized family can be made from the people around you when you need them most was endearing.

I was immersed in the world, appreciated the themes that were bigger and showed impacts of keeping knowledge for only the rich and powerful, and loved the sweetness discovered throughout.
