This was a good debut novel with a diverse set of characters and extra witchy vibes. The plot picked up as the book went on, and I raced through the last few chapters. I enjoyed the seamless inclusion of queer characters. Because there were so many POVs, some of the character development was rushed, and I especially would have liked more from Jailah. I originally thought this was a standalone though, so I look forward to how things progress in book 2!
