this book ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ its 100% one of my new favourites. i had really high expectations for it and it definitely met them. arlo’s so fucking pure gn when she asked for a bathroom in the laboratory bc of the slushies she drank 😠my heart. me too arlo. me too. also shes the most relatable mc i’ve seen, like yes not all heroes are gladly noble and endlessly brave. she’s strong as hell tho i wanna hug her.
nausicaä’s character development GAH i love her so bad?? n she looks so pretty on the front cover … HER AND ARLO’S KISS this is so unfair i needed to know what happened after they kissed. i feel robbed of a scene where arlo’s lying on her w nos stroking her hair. i want. so badly.
VEHAN my baby </3 THAT ONE SCENE w the psychic or wtv where he was spewing his true feelings 😠like oh my god come here let me hug you. his mum’s such an asshole oh my god can i please adopt him. please.🥺
the mutual pining between vehan and aurelian near enough killed me. like pLEASE i need them to be able to be together in the next book. feeling so mfing bad for aurelian.
ALSO the amount of represntation … the nonbinary deity oh my god and nausicaä correcting people when they misgendered them 😠AND THE HUNTER THAT USES NEOPRONOUNS. this is the first book ive come across w a character that uses neos and let me just say i fucking screamed.
im so so so excited for the next book omg 2022 can’t come fast enough </3

This book was incredible! The plot was gripping, the characters were loveable, and the magic system was immensely intriguing. I loved reading a book set in Toronto, as it provided a unique reading experience for me, as someone who lives near there. The pop culture references were witty and very well done - something that can be hard to do, as they can get cheesy. The LGBTQ+ and mental health rep was also very well done and refreshing to see. Overall, a magically enjoyable read!
