The premise of the story was really cool and I felt that the story really delivered what it promised to (political intrigue, mafia, magic, queer representation). The prose was rich and detailed. I enjoyed the Italy-inspired setting and how unique Teodora's talents (storytelling, secretly transforming her enemies into decorative objects, etc.) were. Stregas can do so many cool things! Also Cielo? I really loved him and his romance with Teo. I liked that they were both gender fluid due to their ability to transform their bodies. The plot was engaging from beginning to end. I am really hoping that there's a sequel!
The cover is really great! It's bright and catches the eye. It also matches the story rather well.
