So... The queerness of Charlie gets kinda cancelled when he uses mud instead of a lipstick to mark himself up. Also, the added thoughts ans feelings of the boys are all well-meant, but in truth, are only confusing. It becomes rather apparent that this was a movie someone wrote down in description, not in literary artistry.

Perhaps … I have to read this book with my future students. It's complex … yet so simply true.

I mean… I really want to like this book. It's cozily established and the story isn't badly thought through.
… But it's somehow redundant, repetitive. Things have been mentioned eight to fifteen times now bit never resolved or even changed, which leaves the reader with no tension, only an *I get it, move on* mindset.
Kinda makes me sad and hope that maybe I'm just too an impatient reader.

I love it so far. It's fun, it has great lines, the language holds up the medieval feeling, and the plot is cute while also being intricate.

I understand when people don't particularly like the book. But I think it's because they don't expect this from a book like this one. It's poetry in prose. It's angles no one wants to look at. It's truth, even when it hurts. And then again, you are never quite sure if it is truth after all, because it's not a human telling the story.

Ach. Du. Scheiße. Ich glaube, das Buch tut mir nicht gut. Und doch... kann ich es nicht aus der Hand legen. Was ist das denn für ein Mist?

Das Buch ist ein Mindfuck, und ich weiß noch nicht was ich davon halten soll.

I love how Bel communicates with Lily. And that Lily manages to be her sarcastic self as well as honest.

Sharkie!!! My Sharkie!!!

I love it all. No notes. Thank you, Jaysea Lynn!!!

Everything I have read up until now–I love it all!
