#20: A.E. Osworth, Awakened

The fact that this book is dedicated to "everyone who feels betrayed by J.K. Rowling" signals that its primarily focus is transgender magicians, and that's lovely as far as it goes - messy and prickly, yes, but lovely all the same.

Unfortunately, once the villain of the piece was properly introduced roughly halfway in, I had to skim to the end, because it began to remind me of when I had to stop watching Stranger Things partway through Season 3. It was just too much.
