Possibly the best YA novel I’ve come across. Represents systemic racism and intergenerational trauma in the magic system and the world-building, both in the literal setting and with ingenious magical symbolism. A masterpiece.
Graphic: Racism, Grief, and Death of parent
Moderate: Gore and Kidnapping
Minor: Alcoholism, Misogyny, Rape, Slavery, Forced institutionalization, and Car accident
