This book really surprised me and I found myself enjoying it quite a lot. I really liked the beasts, they were very interesting. I do wish there was a little more time spent on the beasts and explaining some of their characteristics because I was getting Fantastic Beasts/Pokémon vibes and I was definitely there for those vibes. I loved the found family aspect--it was very endearing. I also liked the romance, it was pretty sweet and cute. I had a few small issues with some of the story, for instance, some things were pretty convenient and obvious but nothing that made me want to stop reading. Some parts of the writing were a little clunky, but again, nothing that really took me out of the story. Overall, I really liked this book, it was very readable and i didn't want to put it down. I will definitely read the next installment in this series.
