Along the way she must earn the respect of her people and fix the broken shambles of the Kingdom of Tear.

Reaction

The Detroit Free Press reported Emma Watson "conceded she couldn't put the book down. Having sworn she'd never do another franchise, her interest is a gigantic compliment...".[3]

gollark: Like the thread-local garbage collected heaps.
gollark: I'm using Nim quite extensively now, which is nice apart from some weird quirks.
gollark: I just remain slightly dissatisfied with all programming languages in existence, it's great.
gollark: The entire language is stacks of accursed mold, apart from some recent nice things like destructuring.
gollark: I mostly use JS because I can quickly write slightly horrible code in it, and browsers.
