Briar Moss been training four years as a plant mage, but he hasn't put his past behind him. He meets a street girl, Evvy, using powerful magic to polish stones for a merchant, and resolves to find her a teacher. But Briar understands the city's gangs as well as he understands Evvy. When gang warfare breaks out, he discovers that the fiercest gang is seeking a stone mage to lead them to hidden gems. Only Briar and his magic can offer Evvy protection.

Y‘all I Love Briar so much and he‘s such a sweet teacher and Evvy is wonderful and they teach each other in the way that also student/teacher pairs should. Not to mention this book has my favourite Tamora Pierce trope of ‘you disappeared and I lost my temper‘ while something is just Totally Destroyed in testament to said temper.

I always forget and am again made So Soft about how good a teacher Briar is. Getting Evvy a stone alphabet to tackle reading and learning stone uses all at once in a way she‘ll enjoy and care about. To be fair Evvy makes it easy to teach her because she‘s so excited to learn but still, I love them both so very much, these children who luck plucked off the streets and straight to the folk who could teach them best.

Forgot to take a picture, but I just finished this one! I‘m loving this expansion to the Circle of Magic world so much. This was also my #doublespin this month!
