Review Detail

B.B. Alston continues to write the most magical, high-stakes, complex middle-grade series I have ever enjoyed reading. Amari and The Despicable Wonders was a creative book with many fun twists, turns, and actual dark events that keep the story's stakes feeling as high as they're meant to. Amari continues to be one of the best characters I've read, and I love how we delved a bit into her flaws in this book, even as her strengths grew. The author also notes on Goodreads that this was originally the last book, but we are getting two more books to enjoy.
