This was good! The plot just didn’t hit the way I expected it to.

I had more hopes for this one. It is strong regarding transgender politics and belonging in the magic world. But the magic was so limited it didn't pull me far enough out of reality to enjoy it. This would be more enjoyed by a lover of women's literature driven by characters instead of plot. The first half was fairly boring. Maybe the last 25% plot really started happening. I'll probably listen to book 2 because of Nicola, but Nicola would be the main reason I push through.
