When Agnes Nitt joins the opera, she hopes for fame and fortune. Instead she finds drama that extends well beyond the stage. Despite the fatphobia this Phantom of the Opera esque story is probably my favourite of the witches stories so far. I apparently forgot to review this one when I read it a few months back but I remember loving the clever puns and references. As much as she can be frustrating at times (mostly through other characters though) I hope we get to see more of Agnes in the future!

The racial slur is specifically the G slur against Romani people. It is not used against individuals, instead in one of the operas they put on multiple characters are dressed up and playing characters that are meant to be "g*****". The ableism is regarding a character named Walter who is described as slow/confused and his movement and speech are described in detail as being strange and it's kind of dehumanizing. In addition to THAT (major spoiler for the climax of the book/the mystery)
