4.25
adventurous medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes

Encanto vibes but waaaay darker with a side of vigilante heroism. The book is a fantasy Western with a salt based magic system.

I love the depiction of familial relationships and how having a crush is described. 

Read for the bold main character and stay for the emotional familial healing, redemption, and the many forms of love.
