The characters are well-crafted, leaving a lasting impression on readers. Amber’s determination to help the Animal Realm and solve the unfolding mystery is particularly engaging, while Fiona’s bold character and decision to escape the realm add depth to the narrative. Fiona’s character shines beautifully. Joey’s character too is an interesting one. The way he tries to solve the mystery is interesting to read. While the story is rich with events, it occasionally becomes dense with numerous elements, A lighter and more entertaining touch, with added dramatic elements, could have enhanced the overall experience. The pacing, while steady, may feel a bit slow to some readers.

The climax of the story is impactful, leaving readers in suspense about future events. The plot is undeniably engrossing, drawing readers into a web of intrigue and curiosity about the unfolding events. It conveys an important message that perfection comes with a cost and not everyone around us sees the situation similarly.

Kudos to her for creating a mesmerizing narrative that sparks the imagination.
