Crooks and Straights by Masha du Toit
5.0
One of my favorite reads so far this year.
Based in South Africa, the setting is a bit different but the society feels all too familiar. There's great characters, an interesting take on magicals, a diverse bestiary that you meet as you read through and a point of view that resonates.
Loved the family and the main character. Though she plays a smaller role, especially loved the old shop owner down the street.
Couldn't put the book down once I made it a couple chapters in!
