When I read "Naomi Novik meets the Witcher" I knew we were in for an absolute adventure and this book did not disappoint! I can't wait for the sequel to come out soon!

This book feels like an iPod mini and Hubba Bubba gum and summer camp. Beautifully nostalgic of the late 90s and early 2000s pop craze, we get to follow a character as she gets swept into a current and then plants her feet firmly on the ground. For anyone who loved boy bands and solo girlies as a kid, this book will feel like coming home.

Devilishly fun and delightfully wicked, this book was an absolute joy to read. For the people who like their fantasy on the sillier side, this brought so much humor to a heartfelt story.

Freshwater meets Black Mirror in this jarring and heartbreaking story of bound souls. Asking the questions of who we are and what we are to other people as we explore these characters throughout their lives and the harm they inflict on each other. I have a feeling this is a book I’ll enjoy even more on a second read.
