Really enjoyed this! Takes a little bit to get going and I was a little bored at first, but once you get into the real meat of the story it moves very fast and keeps you on your toes! It’s refreshing to have author and protagonist of color in the fantasy space and the history is artfully weaved into the story. Coming of age, the stages of grief, exploring family history, and exploring a first love all in the midst of an early college experience and discovering the paranormal.

5.0

Phenomenal. It begins like a typical YA novel with a rowdy night on the river and gets progressively more intricate through seamless weaving of complex stories through generations. 10/10 EVERYONE should read this book — it has everything. Ex. lore/mythology, fantasy magic, academic setting, historical fiction flashbacks, unlikely romance, a model father/daughter relationship, queer and trans side characters….
