More of a 3.75/5 stars. I’ve been in an on/off book slump for a while. I go through periods where I read so fast and then pick up a really good book but it takes me way too long to read for no reason other than life or my brain isn’t in the best space. This book felt too real considering the US elections. So many parallels to our lives right now. I thought this just came out, but it’s a couple years old, but holds up well.
Ingrid was an interesting, messy character. I did love her relationship with Alex. My favourite part of this book were the conversations they had together and how that led to a very sweet ending to the story. Linden gave me Gale vibes from THG, but he did have some character development in the end.
I like how the book talks about rebellion and unrest among the populace because of rich people who only care about power and making more money. Like I said, eerily accurate. It captured all my feelings about capitalists and billionaires and politicians while watching our countries support multiple genocides. The only good thing that happened while reading this book is Israel finally being recognized as the apartheid state it is. Yet this book also shows that just because people know something is bad, doesn’t mean they’ll do something to stop it unless the average person messes things up. If the rich and privileged can no longer live in comfort, and if they are held accountable and given zero peace, maybe the rest of the world will finally get the justice and peace we deserve.

"Magic was more than a little like love--too much of it, and she'd burn right up."
A great standalone fantasy story. Some of the exploration of Ingrid's feelings about love and romance felt like they could have been plucked straight from my brain. There are a few very small things I might criticize, but they did not distract in any way from this being a great read.
