I really enjoyed this one, and Caroline O'Donoghue is quickly become a must-read author for me. This one was obviously very different from [book:The Rachel Incident|63094957] (adult, literary fiction vs this book's YA fantasy), but there's some crossover in terms of the superb queer rep and strong character development. There were a couple of times I got a little confused about the lore but it all worked out in the end. I'm excited to read the sequels now!
