A fun romp! A little slow to start but once I was invested in the romance, there was no stopping me. I had no idea this was sapphic!

I'd highly recommend it to fans of The Maze Runner who wanted less dystopia nonsense and more magic. 

Representation : Isoka (mc) is bisexual/mga & sapphic; brown lesbian love interest; deaf & mute sc; f/f side couple.
