I'm going to be honest and this is just my opinion but this book just wasn't that good. I went in thinking it would be a great mystery but instead I got a plain storyline where s9me points was almost predictable, but what frustrated me the most were the missed opportunities and the forced subplot lines.

All in all I don't think I will be reading the rest of the books if the first book is like this.

Ok so this one felt better than the first two, as if they were just like a warm up for this one and what comes next. The way the two stories started to blend in this volume with the furthering of the plot and character development as well as the opening for the next book and the characters to come. It was all just so well done!!

I cannot wait for the next one to be published.

The plot to this volume was really well done, the development of Beast Boy was so executed really well especially in the beginning where all he wanted was to just fit in with the popular people.

The art was so well done especially the part where it shows what happens when Beast Boy changes into an animal.

I would really recommend this to anyone who loves graphic novels.

So I‘m going to be very honest I don‘t know a lot about DC Comics and their character stories, I‘m more of a Marvel girl, but I honestly liked this graphic novel.

The way the author told Raven‘s story and keeps you interested was great, especially for how short it was. The plot develops at a fast pace and there isn‘t a whole lot of character development but for once I didn‘t mind it that much.

The art by Gabriel Picolo was just amazing!!

I never knew I needed a spicy, cute and funny fantasy rom-com until I read this book. It's fast paced but so well done that it doesn't feel rushed at all.

I especially loved the main character Cinnamon with her funny personality and her love of good food and spices. She just feels like someone I would love to be friends with.

10/10 Would recommend this book to anyone!!

I was between rating this book 3.5 or 4 but I ultimately decided on 4 because I would read this book again.

The basis of the plot was honestly a bit familiar for me and felt kind of like an AU fanfic, and that's not necessarily a bad thing because I have the biggest fanfic addiction. But what made the rest of the plot points stand out is that she made the plot her own, with the characters and their developments with themselves and other people.

This is a really cute story but it's not really for me. I'm sure someone else would like it more but I just prefer a bit more plot and development to happen in a story even if it's a bit short.

So I have to say that this volume really got a bit heavy but it does show what some people go through and how it affects them and everything and everyone around them. But Alice really focuses on how you need a support system and how you can‘t just try to help them on your own.

There are still some cute moments between Nick, Charlie and their friends. It's not just angst though out the book.

shanaqui Yeah, I did really appreciate the message that Nick couldn't just help Charlie by himself! 2y

In this volume we see more of the dynamic between Charlie and his friends as well as how they accept Nick while making new friends from the all girls school. It‘s so cute and wholesome how they all interact with each other and how they support Nick and Charlie.

This one was just as cute and wholesome as the first volume. I just loved seeing the development of Nick and Charlies relationship as well as their own character development.

There was one part in the book where there was a trigger warning for the use of slurs but other than that it was just a sweet story of Nick learning more about himself and his sexuality. There is one part where it is hinted at to Charlie being outed by someone.

Ok so this was honestly the cutest comic. It really captures some of the most ordinary every day things that just helps make it that much easier to connect with and get lost in.

As happy and sweet as this story is there are still references to everyday problems that people in the LGBT community face. Although it‘s not prominent or focused on it‘s still there and it just makes it feel more real in some ways.

I really loved seeing the obvious character development in Julie from how we met her at the start and how we said goodbye at the end. I really liked how the author showed that there really is more than one way to grieve and that everyone is affected by loss in different ways. I appreciate how the advice given to Julie in the book can also be used in the real world by anyone going through a hard time.

I like seeing some of their character development even after they finished their quest. It shows that no matter if you are going through something hard or just everyday life trying to find yourself, you can always grow as a person.

The only time I got a bit annoyed was when the MC did questionable things to find his soul bond, instead of just talking to his friends and having open communication with them.

I don't know about any of you but Leigh Bardugo did not have to go this hard with this quote or this man's backstory.
