Jerreat-Poole crafts vivid imagery using wild and surprising prose ... Amid the witchery and the untamable, sentient magical setting, the characters grapple with the intimate complexities of identity and their understanding of justice. An energizing and magnetic whirlwind.
Jerreat-Poole wields words like a blade, using their gorgeous prose and striking imagery to carve out a world that pulses with magic and compassion. It's a visceral work that creates a thoughtful connection between the transformative power of magic and our (often fraught) relationships with our own bodies. The story allows the beautifully developed queer cast to be complex, clever, badass, powerful, and to simply be as they are; all of which coalesce into a lovely, representative, and meaningful work of YA fiction.
