I felt a bit so-so on this book but have absolutely no doubt that it'll be a treasure for the target audience. Many teens, especially LGBTQ teens and teens who love magic and excitablr queer culture will probably love this. I liked the fantasy setting, the characters, and the LGBTQ representation in this story. Several things about this book didn't work for me because they felt too forced to be an organic element. My top complaint was how forced the Facebook and cellphone stuff felt. It seemed like a cool concept that just needed a little more kneeding before it was fully mixed in.

There's lots of queer representation in this book which is what made me most excited because there aren't many fantasy novels featuring trans characters especially. The worldbuilding wasn't very detailed, but it was interesting and needed to be explained more. The plot was probably one of the weakest parts as it was all over the place, characters faced little to no consequences for their actions, and the reveal of antagonists at the climax wasn't well planned out.
