This was such a solid read! While the book relied on a lot of YA cliches, Garber did a great job of putting a little twist on each one, and Lobizona ended up being a completely immersive fantasy story with a lot of heart and a lot to say about important topics like immigration and dismantling systems of oppression. This call to action is voiced through our strong protagonist, Manu, who is so compelling to follow as she navigates finding her place in both the real world and the fantasy world. Also, it has a magic academy, so what's not to love?
