Thank you to the wonderful author for this ARC!

I enjoyed every second of this book. 

The worldbuilding was so easy to follow but still felt deep enough to provide the escapism you'd expect from a fantasy book.

All of the characters are so lovable and relatable. I fell in love with Alard, Raz and Meyda pretty much from the very start. I also adore the way each character represents a different element of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. 

There's so many side characters to fall in love with too. Timmie in particular stole my heart!

The plot is a great mix of fun adventures and heartbreaking moments. I loved the attention to detail, not only of the characters and the places but also the feelings. 

Of course, I love the fact that there's plenty of well-written spice as the cherry on top of an already fun, adventure-filled book!
