Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I absolutely adore Gibson‘s poetry. It‘s joyful and fierce and vulnerable and bursting with love.

I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful graphic novel (look at the page designs!) about gender identity and finding yourself.

Loved reading this on my new kindle coloursoft.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A world where you choose your own gender, and the magic of slackcraft can be learned and used to manipulate the elements. Interesting queer fantasy!

I enjoyed the first two more than the second two books, but they were low picks nevertheless.

Why did this end on a cliff hanger?? Does anyone know if more in this series are going to be published?
