Raves and Reviews
"The queer romance offers a sweet, slow burn that relies on blushes, introspective conversations, and adorable moments. The artwork is attractive and atmospheric, with clean, uncluttered lines."
– Kirkus
"Cardinali’s artwork is captivating throughout the story, but especially when showing readers details like magical energy, spilled blood, and that drooling monster. For fans of magical adventures with hints of LGBTQIA+ romance."
– Andrea Lipinski, School Library Journal
"Cardinali’s vibrant color palettes, bombastic depictions of magic, and clean and crisp lines elevate Sheridan’s breezy summer debut."
– Publishers Weekly
"Cardinali really captured this magical, fantasy world, especially in her full-page splashes with imaginative settings and beautiful magic-casting sequences."
