A great witchy and queer book.  Incorporating not only political aspects but also bringing a trans witch into the picture which I’d never seen in a book before as it’s almost only ever exclusively gendered witches and warlocks.  

Dealing with coming out, queer identity and also transphobia and homophobia this book is very well written by an own voices author.  

It also openly discussed race issues in parliament especially in the uk and I can only say this is accurate to real life - I love how it questioned what people haven’t been willing to change in the past.  In the name of making their world more intersectional.   With a smashing ending I can’t wait for the next book and shocked by who the villain turned out to be.
