I loved this book. The bittersweet ending was a little sad, but again, I liked how it was written. It was interesting how a character who came off as a villain could've been seen as morally gray at the end. This was such a well-written book and I'm happy that I've finally read Aden's middle grade books. 😊

I didn’t think growing up should mean abandoning the things you loved.

This is a great point!!

'More importantly, you can’t live your life always on the offensive, or your fear will consume your joy until there is nothing left.'

This is excellent wisdom that I need to incorporate into my life. 😅

I wasn't expecting the end to be bittersweet, but it's turning out that way. It's very well-written, though.

Zach and company still have to deal with Uriel. Yikes!! 🙄 He's their last obstacle before what I hope is a happy ending. *fingers crossed*

There's some gross and eerie stuff going on with the Tree of Life rn. 😲😣

'Why can’t we fight a regular-sized monster for once? Or like a bunch of mini ones?' - 'Oh, but where would be the fun in that?' Sandra said. - 'You’re telling me you don’t want to fight a pack of dachshund-sized behemoths?'

Dachshund-sized behemoths. Oh, my gosh!! That's a comical idea. 😂

'You humans get sick from drinking *water*,' Ash said before eyeing me over with a disdainful look. 'And no offense, but something tells me you have the immune system of a Victorian child.'

Lol!! I know that this was a dig at Zach, but it was amusing. 😆

I found results regarding "ophanim" on Google images and they're a bit creepy looking. 😲
