4.25/4.5 stars. I loved all of the small, yet revealing moments given to these characters and the world they exist in, and having Rosethorn and Briar at the centre of this book was a delight.

Rereading this coming into our nearly third year of COVID-19 pandemic, it hits a bit differently to know there is a pandemic in this book as well. The magic and world works quickly to solve the plague in order to not only save those who were afflicted, but Rosethorn as well. And what Briar wouldn’t do to save his beloved teacher?
