LOVED having 2 narrators -brother and sister- read from both of their perspectives. Additionally , a few of the antagonists also had storylines, so the multiple narrators was awesome! Although the brother was fairly annoying with his disposition and attitude, I loved that the author normalized his queerness , so we were able to see  character development, beyond the coming out narrative that seems to always be a focal point. Tons of gay love and I LOVED IT!! And I absolutely loved the NOLA  setting, magic, and really enjoyed how intricate the story was. There were plots within plots, and it made for a better and more enjoyable read. I’m really looking forward to the second book!
