I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program, and I'm grateful to the publisher for the opportunity to read this. 

This book was interesting, with some pacing issues and also some... age group issues? I wasn't sure who this book was for--given Renna's age, and some of the framing of the story, it felt like maybe older YA, but the parts at the house felt younger, and there were some moments, like discussing Renna's trauma responses, that felt older. (Do teens know what "dissociation" is? I certainly didn't until I was in college.) 

Sometimes the story seemed to crawl, which made parts of the ending feel too fast/underdeveloped. It was fun to have a fleshed out non-binary character whose gender was not a hugely intrusive part of the story, and having a Muslim woman practice magic was cool too (though I think that whole section with the fundamentalist Christians was a little heavy-handed.) 

Overall I think it was interesting, just suffered from some pacing issues. Could be a cool read for older kids who like Harry Potter but yknow we don't want as much transphobia or blatant racism.
