I really enjoyed this book! Keeping things as spoiler-free as possible, the LGBTQ aspect had me hooked and I can't wait for the next book. I think this book is a good comfort read in a lot of ways- although the world has societal problems (classism, homophobia) the characters you follow tend to be innocent, heart-of-gold figures who are trying their best in tricky situations.

I enjoyed the tribulations of Sonea at the magician's school, although the bullying seemed a bit over-the-top. The search for ancient magic info in old libraries and lands was really fun.  A good cast of characters.
