This is a cute, fun and fast-paced queer romance from a writer who doesn't seem to be able to put a foot wrong when it comes to writing vibrant young adult characters. The novel explores themes around coming out, found family and racial prejudice and would be an excellent addition to any school library.

I had no idea what to expect going in to this - it had a slower romance burn as promised, the world is really well built and the alchemy plot is beguiling. Ended up really into it, unable to put it down. This is the first in a new series, connected to the writer’s existing series and it speaks to its strength that I still loved it without the prior reading.
