YES, IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT READING THIS, THE ANSWER IS YES.
The characters are compelling, the plot is wondrous and shocking. Ifueko immerses you in this mystical world, the lore is well written, without just dumping it randomly. The magic system is enchanting and so unique. You have romance, mystery and fantasy.
If you love YA fantasy this is for you
Tarisai has been manipulated by her mother her all life, which is a main motivator of the book.
She finds romance in another member of the council, Sanjeet, who had a troubled childhood too. Their romance is so sweet and so beautifully written, he calls her 'sunshine girl', common.
Also, asexual representation in Dayo, who is the most precious character, when he was stabbed I quite literally closed the book.
