I really wanted to give the story a 4.25 because of how much I connected with the characters and thoroughly enjoyed the narration, but there are a few things that need further development in the world building itself to push it over the four-star range. More about the magical system itself and how it integrates with Society, especially if this is an alternate Society where this is supposed to be magical realism.
Moderate: Cultural appropriation
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders, Forced institutionalization, and Xenophobia

It is set in a world of magical beings but the true fantasy elements are the radical acceptance of nonconformity and individuality, the blurring of gender roles, and the amenability of the state to being coopted in defence of difference. This is prefigurative fiction that doesn't miss a step.
Minor: Bullying, Confinement, Fatphobia, Panic attacks/disorders, and Fire/Fire injury
