I was surprised and intrigued by the twist at the halfway point. It's something I've experienced in danmei, but not YA fantasy. This book feels like it should be fully Sapphic, I can't imagine any of these women ending up with a man. 
Our male love interest,
Crow
,  could've used more time to develope. Zephyr catches feelings very fast.
