I love these little weirdo’s.
Picture this: a world where magical youth and beings are feared for being different. They must have guardians to look over them, keep them safe (and others), and keep their magic in check. Linus Baker, a government official, is assigned to such an orphanage where the children have been classified as a level four threat. What he finds there is much more and much different than what he bargained for.
I truly loved everything about this story. The setting was painted so beautifully. The world was fleshed out well. Most importantly, the characters were rich and real. I fell in love with the children at Marsyus Orphanage immediately. I even looked up fanart because I just had to know how others were picturing them. Each child had individual and unique personalities. They were endearing and made my heart swell. I love them so much. Pretty sure I would die for Chauncey.
I listened to this book, and a narrator can make or break a story. Daniel Henning MADE this book. He had voices for EVERYONE. Every adult and every child. I always knew who was speaking, and it was incredible. At times, I even wondered if there were multiple narrators. I couldn’t recommend listening to the story more. I’m so glad I did.
