Pleasantly surprised by this book! I chose this to fulfill a prompt for a reading challenge and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The main character’s disability is a focus to the plot, but in a way that was unique to the fantastical world. When I started I was worried this would be too much of a teen coming of age story, but it was much more than that. The romance was a little saccharine at times but honestly I liked the characters enough later in the book I didn’t mind.
Graphic: Ableism, Child death, Death, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Violence, Stalking, Murder, and Abandonment
