Jennifer Hillier is a terrific writer. There is no doubt about that. The pacing in this book was great and I really loved the characters and felt for them.

however, I had to give it three stars because it was predictable. I’ve read other stories just like this one and there weren’t enough red herrings to keep things interesting. I guess the major plot points almost immediately.

I would recommend this to someone looking for a quick distraction or maybe even a beach read.

A coven of trans witches battles an evil AI in the magical coming-of-middle-age romp about love, loss, drag shows, and late capitalism. ​

Going into this, I didn't know what to this. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be so funny and full of heart. "Awakened" was both adorable and hilarious. It felt alot like a queer version of the avengers. I really liked the dialogue and the the play on some philosophical themes, especially related to identifying who you are. Having a trans author's perspective is important for this conversation.

It was a good time and made you think. I can't wait to see what else Osworth writes.
