Review
First off the world is set up beautifuly everything from the clothing design to the demons to the witches. Orlandi has definitely built his own world.
He was quoted as saying about the book and it’s theme of growing up. “To those who read this book, I would like to say that a girl can go on adventures, that a boy can cry if he needs to, that there is no right way to grow up. You just have to take the time to understand who you want to be.”
I think the quote sort of covers all the themes in the book, Tami makes mistakes but eventually chooses the kind of person he wants to be even when it’s almost too late. He gets help from an unlikely source and is willing to bear the consequences of his actions if this isn’t maturity what it?
Definitly 5/5.
