I GIVE THIS ONE ALL THE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So I don't think I liked it more Iron Widow (which would take a LOT) but it's really, really high up there. Like #2 in recent years spot.

First and foremost I absolutely loved how much and the variety of LGBTQIA+ representation!! I loved that no labels were actually used, just descriptions of the characters' experiences, etc. The found family aspect is also just 🤌🥹💕 I love how the beginning starts out as what seems like a very typical romantic scene and then BAM. From then on, you start to get more clues that this book isn't going to be about romance at all really. And I just adore that turn of the tables.

I love so many of the characters, especially Ingrid and Alex. I adore their relationship and how it develops, how Alex feels comfortable enough to

come out to Ingrid and share intimate details about his life during such a serious scene lol

. I even really like Linden Holt and how he develops as a character. Also Gwendolyn Brooks is such a badass my God.

I did see coming who was behind the rebels, but that didn't take away from the story at all for me. I think it also leaves room for a sequel or some kind of companion or follow up which I really hope we get!!

What else can I gush about this book... The pacing was perfect, I think it would make a great movie, OH!! And I just love the entire concept of flare, how it seems to represent a lot of things that mean power but it isn't a direct correlation to money for instance. It's necessary for survival but is also hoarded and used in elections but also flaunted and wasted and treated as alcohol. There's just so much to unpack there. I also love the action scenes and the other scenes that just made me go DAMN!!!! I had to pause my audiobook and just take a moment to freak out lol.

Lastly, CAN WE TALK ABOUT CHAPTER 23??!!! 🔥🥰😍✊🥹😭💕 Gosh. I cried. I laughed. I vigorously fist pumped in the car. It just gave me all the feels.

I really need this book to have more hype, how does it not have more hype?? 🔥🔥🔥

Drags a bit, is fairly predictable and not as radical as the blurb would have you believe, but the QPR rep is nice.

This book…was subpar. I didn’t have high expectations, but I was hoping for a good YA fantasy which was where I was disappointed in. The MC was not likable, not even intriguing to excuse it. The side characters were boring and uninteresting. The only saving grace for this book was the queer representation, especially having a queer-platonic relationship. I have never seen a QPR depicted in a novel before. However the queer rep could not save this book. Besides the characters, the plot was not interesting at all. I was looking forward to political intrigue but got surface-level ideas. The world was uninteresting. I could not care about the magic either. The writing was…bland mostly but had a few interesting lines regarding the QPR. Other than that, I do not recommend this book unless you come in with very little expectations for YA fantasy.
