a brilliant fantasy debut. I was particularly drawn to Hassa and the Ghostlings storyline. Like other reviewers I found this a little slow in the middle, however the ending was worth that wait. Similarly, I think El-Arifi should be commended for her representation of gender diverse characters, it was done so beautifully.
