"a pretty good book! occasionally lays the “gen z slang” on a bit thick, and it’s metaphors are not subtle and are explicitly explained. overall, though, a very interesting plot with great world building and character descriptions"

K McConnell

"Amazing book. The only thing I didn't like was the drug usage, which is really hard for me to get away from in queer media or books. Otherwise, the author managed to put so many of my thoughts into words, and whisked me away to a different world and stoked the fire within me. And for that I would like to give the author a lil kiss on the head. "

"Characters annoyed me, was taking too long"

"The writing was not good, it felt like reading a self insert fan fiction. There was a good idea but there weren’t skills to bring it to life. Personally I would not waste time trying to read this book."

"This is a brilliant, hilarious, and unapologetically queer story I can’t recommend enough! Edgmon’s debut takes familiar ideas and puts a queer spin on them. I loved the characters instantly, and the world was very intriguing. The second book is now one of my most anticipated releases of next year!!"

"Absolutely loved the magic system & world in this! It has the perfect balance of fantasy / human realm element to it that made me fully engaged the whole time. And the ending absolutely makes me want to pick up the sequel now! We need more books like this!"
