There is a magic system that I didn’t fully follow and would have loved more explanation on, that I think would have allowed me to connect more to the story and the characters.
That being said, the main character is a fire cracker , she’s resilient and finds her power.
Nghi Vo has passages that were so beautiful written in here. And some gorgeous sapphic representation in here.
In the end this wasn’t my fave read but it might be yours.

I will say though that the world was very interesting (even if we didn't get to see a lot of it) and the way the magic was used to emphasize real world issues was mostly well done.
