Just when one thinks that Ash and their friends are going to solve the problems in this world, turns out that the problems are boys and Ash realizes that maybe it wasn‘t the world telling her she‘s a girl.

LibrarianRyan it is worth it. It was an enjoyable adventure especially for those who already enjoy fantasy with anthropomorphic characters. However, there‘s something deeper and darker in here. This land invented by her mother is all about fear. Fear is what gives it power. But her mother‘s greatest fear was a man. That is never addressed, and I wish it was. The end of the book makes it seem like there will be further adventures and if there are I will check in 10mo
