Jim's Review
🐛
Jim's heart grew three sizes reading this book. TJ Klune crafted the coziest, most wholesome fantasy Jim has ever burrowed into. Lucy (literally the Antichrist) is adorable, Linus is the most lovable bureaucrat in fiction, and Arthur is pure warmth. This book is a gentle reminder that the world needs more kindness, more acceptance, and more stories about magical children on islands. Jim ugly-cried happy tears.
