Furious and fun, the first book in this bold, new science fiction adventure series follows …
This space opera with magic was not magical for me.
3 stars
It's a solid enough adventure story, and queer positive (which maybe I've become a little blasé about, but could make it very affirming for the right young adult). On the other hand the world of Expanse + Spells didn't really grab me. Maybe that's just me, but I want to be lied to a little bit, and have your magic pretend to be weird science.
