Goodreads

So much potential wasted with this one. I had such high hopes for this book. A story that contains trans and gay character’s plus magic sounded like a great idea. And I’m sure it can be in the right hands. This book however fell flat. The writing wasn’t great and there were some problems with the main love story that had me thinking that this is an unhealthy situation. The book also left a lot of loose ends which I never appreciate. This book would be for grades 9-12 but I wouldn’t recommend it.
