A very fun take on magic, family, and clashing perspectives. Take the content warnings seriously. The ending comes on too suddenly and too cleanly, otherwise it might be a 5-star.

Hmm. I think this book almost does something, but it just fell short. There was such tonal whiplash in parts and it felt like it was handling really heavy and intense topics without sufficient care and without having it *mean* something. I just think if you’re going to do that much on-page rape and torture there has to be some sort of proper catharsis or narrative satisfaction at the end. I have to wonder who the intended audience is for this book, because I have to admit that it was not me

What a very cool concept. Loved the magical realism. Also the queer content themes of chosen family and the magic we make for ourselves.
