This book was A M A Z I N G!
I am a huge fan of [author:Susan Dennard|4499623] and her books! I have been waiting for over a year to read "Windwitch," the sequel to [book:Truthwitch|31868364].
I wrote a long (for me, at least) review for "Truthwitch," and I'm excited to write about this one now!
This book was just as good, if not better, than the first book in the series. There was so much representation in this book that I found myself repeatedly squealing about the "cute lesbians" or my "smol trans son."
I was also very interested in the way that Dennard split the book into 5 POVs: Safiya, Iseult, Merik, Aeudan, Merik, and (my favorite!) Vivia.
I loved the addition of Aeudan and Vivia's POVs in this book. It gave the book great depth, and also my hate of Vivia went from 100 to 0 in the course of 200 pages. She is really relatable: crushing on her first mate, thinking she's not good enough, crazy ambitious, etc. Aeudan is lso a really interesting chracter. He is honestly adorable (yes, the killer monk Bloodwitch is cute), and I really hope that he and Iseult get together in the end - OTP!
However, I didn't like Merik in this books so much. I get it - her lost his threadbrother. That's really sad, and I feel bad for him. But he's such a redicuus character in this book that it got kind of annoying. However, his new sidekick Cam totally makes up for it, hense the 5 star rating.
Overall a wonderful read, and I devoured it in hours!

This is the first book this year that made me cry - that's an impressive feat!
I don't know why I waited this long to read this book. I have already read [book:Fangirl|16068905] and [book:Carry On|32768522] (which I both highly recommend!), so I figured I would give this one a try. The story is told from both Eleanor and Park POV's, and it's honestly beautiful to watch them fall in love. Eleanor is honestly a really relatable character who has flaws in appearance and emotions. It made me really sympathetic the more I learned about her family life.
Park is also a really realistic character. He is a nerd who always reads comics, and he's still trying to discover a sense of self. These characters were really intricate, and I felt like I would recognize them if I passed them on the street.

Wow!
Just... wow!
I am a huge fan of Rick Riordan. My dad started reading us [book:The Lightning Thief|28187] when I was 8, and ever since I've read his books devoutly.
The representation in this book is amazing. Alex Fierro is a beautiful person, and she makes me so happy to read about. (For any who might get mad, yes, I know Alex is genderfluid. I am using the pronoun 'she' because Alex more often identifies that way, and doesn't like the pronoun they. So please don't get mad at me.) Alex is one of the best characters Rick has ever written, in my opinion, and is strong, courageous, and doesn't take any cr*p.
(Censored for any young children reading.)
Magnus Chase is as funny as usual. He always sees the good in people, and is is a healer in every sense of the word. It was beautiful to read about him helping Amir learn while keeping his sanity.
Speaking of Amir, he and Samirah are an adorable couple. Their relationship is a constant throughout this book, even when all hope seems lost.
Rick Riordan has created a masterpiece in his mix of humor, representation, and mythology.
