A very unique setting and very unique magic. Lots of alchemy involved in the story too which is not something I see often.
I liked that the book discussed some important themes such as immigration and racial/religious prejudice. Also i'd say TW for that.
The book is generally slow, it focuses on both plot and characters and there's some character growth. The romance was adorable and I rooted for both characters, which are clearly flawed but also very loveable in their own way.
The setting in the book is also quite vivid and aesthetically pleasing, it painted a sort of 20s inspired with a bit of steam punk and alchemy heavy world.
Lastly, I wouldn't exactly call this a YA book, I'd say more like NA or just very upper scale YA.
