What a surprise. I'd never heard of this book, but I was desperate to find a book authored by a Pacific Islander to complete a Popsugar Challenge prompt. And I'm sure happy I picked this one!
This YA Fantasy is a quick read, easy to get through. The characters were lovely to get to know, I really liked them all. Cas and Lena were instant favorites, but Bittor stole my heart with his snark and humor. The mystery, I figured it out pretty early on, but it was compelling and I couldn't wait for the reveal. The ending was a little dark, but this story is mild on violence and gore as compared with other YA Fantasy. There is also LGBTQ+ representation! Great story, and I wouldn't hesitate to read more from this author.
