I really enjoyed this book.
I liked how it put magic into the context of the southern U. S. and how racism would have limited even that for people. What I liked even more though was how the characters found spaces to be themselves.
Even though this is a fantasy book, it speaks to the history of LGBTQ+ people and that they have always existed. People have been making communities where they can be themselves for a long time.
I liked the mix of LGBTQ+ representation and even the representation of disabilities.
You can feel that the authors put a lot of love into the characters and their stories.
