This book has been on my To Read for years and it checked off the 2025 PS category of "a book about a found family', so I finally read it.  I will say I almost DNF'd it, but didn't have anything else ready to read yet, so I pushed through. It's great that writers will create their own fantasy worlds, but when you have stupid names for places that currently exist (Sparkletown. Really?!), it gets annoying.

When there are also stupid, vapid characters, like Asia, it's also very annoying.  Fortunately, the farther along we go in the book, the less of her we get, until it's needed.  I did enjoy ALL the different "mythical" characters in this (were-wolves/bears/coyotes/hawks/crows, vampires, seasons) and they all had different personalities, but it did start to annoy me with humans always being referred to as either meat or monkeys.  I am satisfied with how it ended, but not sure if I would read any farther in the series.
