Spoiler free Review:
This was an amazing ride! If Agatha Christie and Leigh Bardugo co-authored a book - it could look something like this.

The future leaders of 12 provinces go on a 12 day ship voyage together. Every one of them has a unique magical ability- except for our protagonist who only pretends to have one. During their journey people start dying and soon foul play is suspected. The mystery kept me on my toes the whole time and even though I guessed part of the solution, most of it was a surprise to me. I love hard to solve mysteries and this one certainly gave me that. The protagonist was a little bit annoying at times but I still liked him. Not sure about the romance plot, I feel like the story didn’t really need it but it was fine.

All in all I loved the book and will definitely recommend it to friends :)

This book. I've been thinking about it since I started reading it, and it will stick with me for longer. I could have read it all at once, but I'm glad I didn't - it was great to stop and think about it, and think about it I definitely did. The twists caught me unawares but equally made sense - the longer you go on with this book you realise how complicated the characters are. I absolutely loved this book - I really want to go back and reread it, so I can see the foreshadowing. Lots of natural queer, POC, disabled and working class rep, the social themes were excellently handled, and the Blessings were used really well. Would recommend highly.

The main character is implied to be shamed about being fat/chubby by other characters, but is accepting of it themselves and fights back against it when it is raised in book.
