This was a super fun read. The protagonist is hilarious and I love the inner monologue from this writer. Literally I was laughing the entire book. Even with how funny it was,  the plot and characterizations never suffered!

This is a fantastic book, chock full of adventure and high stakes, with a plucky trans protagonist and a dreamy love interest. It takes place in a world of fae and humans, and includes a subset of the fae race called witches that are more human in appearance - and more powerful than high born fae. Wyatt is a witch, and Emyr is his fae mate. But they met before Wyatt ran away to the human realm - and before he transitioned.  

I LOVED the premise, the sheer adventure in this story, and being guided by a protagonist with such a fun sense of humor. 

My favorite character is Briar, bi and ace best friend to Wyatt.
At the end we find out what happens to witches who are dumped in the human realm. “We call ourselves changelings, actually.” She’s a witch too! I literally LOVED the reveal with Briar and it made me want to immediately grab the sequel to this book.

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.
