Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
4.0

This is a solid entry. It brings up things in a fantasy that I am used to needing to go to contemporary for, which is much appreciated. My favorite aspects were the community themes. However, and this might just be my own genre preferences, I found that having a single teenaged protagonist limited the development of the community theme. I would have liked more there.
