Queen of Faces follows a girl named Anabelle who is stuck in a boy's body. In this fantastical world, people have souls called your 'Pith' that you can switch between bodies. She desperately wants to join the elite school for mages called Paragon but when she receives her third rejection letter, she turns to a life of crime. This book is a beautiful enemies-to-lovers story with an incredible plot centered around taking down the dark witch Khaiovhe. I thoroughly enjoyed the magic system and the world we were entrenched in. I'm very sad the book ended on a mild cliffhanger but I am so excited to read the next book and see where we go in this world. 5/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
