I’m not a big fantasy reader, but this one sounded appealing and it’s terrific so far.

Great premise and fantastic writing.24 Jul 2026 17:41 +0000at://did:plc:arputuucezdoefwu4rsbsuo3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrfvkeptus2khttps://bsky.app/profile/boniashburn.bsky.social/post/3mqz3kguf3c2hThis book is so terrific! A great #youngteenlit that is funny, has realistic 14yo dialogue (for the most part- there is less swearing than they actually do), and chronicles a night-before-graduation sneak-out that is age-appropriate, creative, and fun as hell.19 Jul 2026 15:23 +0000at://did:plc:arputuucezdoefwu4rsbsuo3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqz3kguf3c2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/boniashburn.bsky.social/post/3mqrcjllcrk26Current read!
