This was an engaging read that I only took so long to finish because of OFMD and WWDITS taking over my life. I love the character’s voice and I love that I can feel her frustration and growing sense of power throughout the story. I definitely recommend this one!

Once again Elle McNicoll has created a compelling middle grade heroine whose adventure is exciting to follow. I loved how angry Ramya was, but how she used that anger in service instead of harm. I usually also find Elle McNicoll's stories pleasantly surprising, so I was slightly disappointed to find the beats of this one pretty standard for a middle grade fantasy. Though it introduced a lot more questions than answers and is crying out for a sequel.

Elle has blown me away with her first fantasy novel. A neurodivergent female lead; trolls, witches and kelpies; bookshops to be explored and a fight for community - what more could you want? This is one of those books that I will always want to be able to read for the first time again. I loved it all.

This was really fun and I loved how neurodivergence was incorporated into the story.
