📝 BIPOC/Lesbian/Trans Rep; 3rd Person Narration
𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔
I went into this book blind like I normally do, and man was it a doozy. There were so many random things thrown into this book, but somehow it worked! Never in my wildest dreams would I think a book that had Violin Prodigies, a soul stealing musical teacher, video game music, a demon, aliens, and donut shop spaceship work… but it did. This right here, is the essence of any amazing storyteller.
This was an entertaining and beautiful story, but was also expertly written. The author is a phenomenal job at creating such a unique story with a lot of heart. It has some deep subject matter but it was expertly handled.
My advice, give this one a read!
