Considering V. E. Schwab’s authorial assurance that Lila Bard from Shades of Magic is gender-fluid, it’s pretty awkward that this book is almost a love letter to Harry Potter.
I’m completely enchanted by the idea of a girl who sees ghosts and photographs them. This is a cute YA novel, but I wish we could have this same character but with a more… Francesca Lia Block style writing.
