This was a fun but difficult read because of the discussion of various systemic issues. A lot of people are represented in this book but they’re not over highlighted at the same time. It feels natural even though the story is about magic. I love how it discusses racism but it does not center on white people. It’s refreshing to read a book like this even though it is a fantasy. The graphics, in my opinion, fully encapsulated the scene, the emotions of the characters, and how impactful a moment was.
