- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

A+ concept and ideas. I was so excited for this book, but the writing style didn't work for me. Listened to the audio and even Bahni Turpin couldn't save it for me. the magic system was unique and creative but I couldn't find any consistent logic to it. The cast was delightfully black, with the only named white character having a secret of her own. Friendship was a huge part of the story, and I loved the inclusion of a queer couple. So much to like. I just wish I would have enjoyed it more overall.
