I was afraid this would be TOO SPOOPY but it's not really a horror story, more of a dark fantasy kind of thing (which is more my jam). I loved the forced-found family of the adopted magic siblings, and appreciated the intersectional diversity therein. (It's nice that it has a lot of LGBTQAI+ characters including multiple asexual characters, with no romantic plots just background identities. Not that it's not also great to have YA queer romances but, you know, variety is the spice of life.)

Some aspects of the plot were a little predictable to a genre-savvy adult reader but a lot of teen fantasy readers will be thrilled to see themselves represented in a story like this.
