As always thank you to publishers and Netgalley for a free arc in exchange for an honest review! 


A diverse, magical world with intriguing politics, complicated interpersonal relationships and serious talks about abuse of power and the complexities of war, sign me up!!  Oh my god this absolutely deserves more hype!! Yeeran is one of my favorite characters i've read this year, her grief and guilt she lives with and the way it shows on page is absolutely gorgeous. Also the dynamic and love between her and Furi was absolutely adorable. Even through the complexities of the world they live in, the undeniable soft spot they have for each other is magnificent.
Sidenote this gives MAJO spop energy, iykyk. Also I really want an Obeah now.
