I didn’t love this. It takes too long to get to the main plot of the book, and it’s also really long for being a middle grade book. There was a lot of description which dragged it out. I would recommend to fans of magic, nature, and insult-humor, which for some reason people seem to associate with middle-grade audiences?? 

I did like the budding friendship between Atlanta and Promi, and the elder characters Promi meets in the beginning of the book.
