People are not illegal! That’s definitely an overarching theme of the book and I love that it worked on the actual, present day US immigration level as well as the fantasy level in the book. The world building was great and the story meshed our actual world with the fantasy world really nicely. The pace of the book was good and the relationships that were built throughout felt realistic and relatable.  The ending felt a tad rushed, but big questions were mostly answered and the book left off in a great spot to start the second one.  This book is stunning and any fantasy reader (or not tbh) should read it. I absolutely cannot wait until the second book in this series comes out later this year. 

CW: ICE raid/detention, misogyny/sexism, casual mentions of Harry Potter books/world throughout
