I almost did not read this due to the YA classification and there are some YA tropes throughout the book that made me roll my eyes at parts of the first 1/3 of the book, but it is an incredible book with incredible character dynamics. I found myself gasping and laughing out loud more times than I thought I would. I mourned with the characters and winced when they got hurt and I marveled at the mysteries and magic revealed on each page. As an enby, I appreciated the nonbinary rep and the massive amounts of queer representation in the book. I hope we get to explore Greer’s character even more in the next book(s). The way Tracy Deonn writes is truly moving and magical and I loved exploring the world of Legendborne. I cannot wait to read the next volume!
