This was a fun, magical book. It included many important discussions on racism and prejudice, while creating this urban fantasy world of sprites and sirens and gargoyles. The relationship between the 2 sisters was so sweet and wholesome and really incredible. However, I found myself bored a few times throughout. The magic of the world was confusing to me and wasn't that interesting. I think this is more of a personal preference, however, than a fault in the writing. I'm not into urban fantasy often, and I also listened to this as an audiobook, which sometimes lends to me being confused and missing certain things.

All in all, I would recommend this book. It really highlights the struggles of Black people, especially Black women, in a way that is really impactful.
