I'm not a big fan of bullying in stories either, but the positives you outlined have me putting this one high up on my future read list.

I agree with the other commenters that bullying is tricky—it's too heavy to just toss into a book without a lot of exploration. Thanks so much for the thoughtful review, Brenda!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337469341697895080.post-58249365250099653672022-12-12T13:37:46.121-07:002022-12-12T13:37:46.121-07:00What a fascinating read!

Bullying does seem excessive, but I'm glad Shad finds his friends at the end. Great review.

I'm with you on the bullying. A bit overdone in so many books. Can't possibly buy ALL of the fantasy books that are published every year!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.com
