The Name-Bearer by Natalia Hernandez
3.5
adventurous funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 Okay, I found it on Tiktok, and just after it was available on Libby. It was a sign, right? And it is a beautiful story, the first volume of a YA fantasy story. The characters felt realistic, but I wished some subjects/parts were more developed. 
Also, I love how warriors are not just women who can fight. And the trans/queer normative story!
