This was not the cozy read I was expecting. I thought more Legends and Lattes/Cerulean Sea but this was more dark things happen with a sens  of hope but I loved it! It was a beautiful story about mental health and accepting and loving who you are, no matter the flaw and the strength in the acceptance. The romance was so sweet as well. CW's(as listed in front of book)for absent parent, anxiety and depression, body horror, emesis, fantasy substance abuse, medical issues, and non-consensual enchantment. Buddy read with Ashley ❤️

This was such a wonderful book. I loved the magic system and I adored the characters. Catherine Bakewell gave us a beautifully depicted work of art. 

I could see this book charming any reader of any age, but it does work wondrously as a YA novel. It had just the right amount of angst to pure joy and love ratio. 

I loved the non-binary and trans characters, and that our main character is bisexual/pansexual. 

Overall, 5 beautiful stars to a beautiful book. 

And thank you to NetGalley for an eArc of this book!
