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.
