Everything about this world is fascinating- the divide in magic systems almost drew my attention more than the romance. I also love how diverse this world is- this is my first time seeing dozens of they/them characters in the same story! I was attached to everyone we were introduced to, and really felt Saffron's complex fears when it came to protecting his community. This story does a great job navigating really complex societal issues surrounding oppression and pseudo-racism, and how things can be addressed in certain ways but can't always be magically solved all in one go. Absolutely would recommend, and will definitely be reading again!
