I will say I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to... It took me a bit to really get into it, but once I got about 60% in i was hooked... honestly not sure how i feel about Madoc - like i think he actually does love his kids and he seems to relate best with jude but well idk
BEWARE!! Spoilers ahead
Fav characters (or somewhat liked):
OAK - he deserves to have a great childhood!!! don't know if he'll necessarily be the best king... but he is just precious!!
Bomb/Roach/Ghost - how can anyone not like them. I mean they're just trying to live their best life with as many explosions as possible
Vivi - she ACTUALLY cares about her family cough taryn cough
(even if she does get a bit sidetracked...) the scenes with her and Oak were so cuteee
Professor Noggle - he was funny
Oriana - while not the nicest to Jude, idk I couldn't help but like her. She had so much love for Oak and I'm kinda curious what she thought about some of what happened in the book
Cardan & Jude: he kinda gives misguided Gilbert Blythe vibes... if Gilbert was spoiled and cruel. I'm not excusing ANY of his behavior, however that is the vibe I got by the end of the book. These poor children just need some proper love. and poor Jude needs to feel safe somewhere so she can have some fun... and maybe good therapy sessions...
Despised characters:
Taryn&Locke:-ugh-
the traitorous piece of slime DESERVES Locke. They can off and be horrible together!but the fact that Locke was all ‘I still like you Jude' ugh HE is the one who chose the slimy traitor so he can NOT try to have both.

✤ "You just finally accepted that sometimes, the biggest sacrifice isn't made by the person who gives up her life. Sometimes, the hardest thing to be is the one who lives."
I love all of the Naturals sooooooo much and I really wish I could give them hugs cause those poor babies have gone through wayyyy too much 😢🤧
I enjoyed seeing them all grow throughout the series [and watching Briggs & Sterling repair their relationship] and I simply adore Judd bc that man lost so much but he still loves them all like they're his own 🥹🥹🥹 [and the ending with him & Nonna 😂]
✤ "Home isn't a place. Home is the people who love you. Forever and ever no matter what."
def gonna miss all the truth-or-dare games 😆 the drama & chaos & honesty that came out of those
all I'm gonna say is don't expect a happily ever after - it's more bittersweet than that. I do hope that Cassie will be able to get to know her dad eventually... Also NONNA IS AMAZING AND NO CAN SAY OTHERWISE
This book was a nice little trip down memory lane & one of the more notable books that made up my 7th-grade year
I haven't decided if I like the book or the movie better... anyways, if you're looking for a book about the strange and unusual, time travel, and one with interesting vintage photos, then this is the book for you. Just know it might not be as fast-paced or scary as expected...
I don't know how to feel about Chaol and Celaena. I just don't understand the relationship - I get her and Dorian, not Chaol. Aside from the ridiculously unnecessary triangle, I mostly enjoyed the story, and I'm glad Celaena got to experience a real friendship through Nehemia. I was a little disappointed though bc I was expecting a little bit more idek, not exactly action but, something!
