One of the best YA debuts I have read in a while.
The maincharacter Joan is sixteen years old, queer and of color. She has the magic ability of controlling metal which her Head Orisha, Ogun had gifted her.
The Fae are depicted as dangerous creatures and seeing as Joan's whole family is Orisha-blessed they have been keeping an eye out for Fae around the city.
The book is very fast paced and many things are happening all at once. There are a few pov changes but we mostly focus on that of Joan. I really liked her as a maincharacter and I am really glad that girls all over the world will see themselves in Joan. Thank you Brittany for this beautiful powerful written woman!
Thank you so much NetGally for providing an early copy of the beautiful audiobook!
