I read “Long Shadow” by Olivia Atwater. It’s a delightful YA about a young and feisty queer magician in Regency (?) London dealing with faeries and society and a deadly magical mystery. She is from a workhouse and her adoptive mother has half a faerie’s soul and her father is the Lord Sorcier. Her adoptive brother is a ghost. It’s a diverting romp and just what I needed.
