swatbooknb 's review for:

The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy
4.25
adventurous inspiring fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is a fabulous trans affirming book with magic. My only criticism is that the book wasn’t long enough as a result, I felt like the book was lacking depth in its conflict and characterization of some of the characters.

That being said, I thought the magic system and world building was interesting, if under developed.
