Apr 01, 2021 Kirsten rated it really liked it

A very inventive fantasy. Is TJ Klune British? Because this book has a very Monty Python or Harry Potter feel to it. It also at one point reminded me of a scene in The Producers.

This is a book with diversity and outcast characters learning to embrace their identity (whatever that is). I really loved it. (Could it be a film, please? Maybe a musical?) I really recommend this book. It's great fun. ...more
