A solid queer romance in a magical world. It felt like someone put Alyssa Cole books in a blender with Harry Potter. Satisfying but I would have preferred more of the joy in the epilogue unleashed earlier in the book and milder threats from Lucy.
Graphic: Abandonment
Moderate: Death
Minor: Cannibalism and Death of parent
