I liked the magic that was described and appreciated that the author clearly had world building around Thistle Grove. More than anything this book made me want to read her first book because it made me interested in the the tournament. I also like how the characters communicated with one another. I hate when conflicts rely solely on miscommunication and that wasn’t the case here at all.
Overall, this book was a fast, enjoyable read, but I wouldn’t personally recommend it for the romance, and be aware of possibly triggering misgendering.
Graphic: Transphobia
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Emotional abuse
There is some bioessentialism and misgendering of Morty, the nonbinary character. There is also description of an abusive partnership that has ended, and description and slight portrayal of parental emotional abuse.
