I came for “gay Harry Potter” but got so, so much more - deeply lovable characters, a heartwarming queer “enemies to lovers” romance, a fresh take on “the chosen one” trope, and a uniquely creative, fun world. There may be flaws, but I don’t want to hear them. This book filled me up with so much warmth, joy, and love, I’m genuinely sad it’s over but I very much look forward to revisiting it again.
