A heroic trans male demigod main character that has wings, can talk to birds, and loves pranks. I already love Teo this protagonist! The story has a good sense of humor so far. I love Teo’s birds and their hilarious commentary. The characters feel fully realized even though I haven’t gotten a chance to know them very well yet. The main character is already portrayed as likable, heroic, modest, and imperfect. The world building is great without slowing down the story. There’s some action right away and the story already has momentum.

This book has a fresh take on gods/demigods fiction trope instead of just using the greek, roman, or norse gods like most recent demigod fiction books. There’s great trans rep with a main character that is out as trans, has family and friends that accept him as the guy he truly is, and still grapples with some of the tough struggles that trans individuals face even without being confronted with overt transphobia everywhere they look. (As someone with a close relative that’s trans, fantastic trans rep is near and dear to me.)
