This book was so good! A well-conceived magic system (bonus points for the Welsh inspiration!!), so many incredible plot twists, and a lot of really thoughtful insights about grief and race (particularly important in a genre - Western fantasy - that is pretty Eurocentric). I thought the romance was a little mid - I’m not one for love triangles or tortured bad boys - but overall the story was fantastic and had me glued to the page.
Graphic: Death, Death of parent, Murder, Injury/Injury detail, Grief, and Racism
Moderate: Rape and Car accident
