Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Well, this was lovely! The characterization was great, the story was fun, but the worldbuilding was by far the best thing about this book: It was chock full of spirits, traditions, and ideas that were beautifully rendered. The whole thing had an air of folklore about it, and I enjoyed the footnotes present at the end of every chapter. Small points deducted because the pacing felt erratic at times, but it was super fun and enjoyable!

I loved the story and the characters and everything, but it was too long, would have preferred as a physical read and not an audiobook

This was a fun read. 

The characters and world building were silly, engaging, and easy to cheer for.

It dove into some deep themes of belonging and found family and the expectations of gender roles in society. 

I'll have to look into the author's other works.
