Absolutely amazing book - definitely one of my favourite reads! Takes a little while to really get going, but the characters and plot were beautifully well written which made the wait worth it. The map at the beginning of the book also really helped aid with getting a feel for the setting/ where characters were as they constantly moved about and was nice addition overall. The mixture of

magic and science

was very well done as well, and a very interesting concept that bindes the two together during the story.

Phenomenal writing by Rosie,
From disabled rep to queer rep set in the beautiful city of York where I live I literally couldn’t put this book down at all! 
From start to finish I was stuck deep in. For a debut it has phenomenal writing and I’ve never read anything like it.  
Definitely a forever fave
