Critics Review
- “Layne’s phenomenal sequel mixes fantasy, social themes, and an inclusive and unforgettable cast with a gentle, swoonworthy romance. The worldbuilding and magic systems are complex but accessible, brought to life with stunningly rendered, vibrant illustrations… . This volume makes a fine jumping-in point, but readers would be remiss to lose out on a single minute in this world. A wonderful, whimsical winner.” – Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
