The Witch Who Trades With Death by C. M. Alongi

C. M. Alongi is rapidly heading onto my “buy immediately” list, which is a good thing.

“The Witch Who Trades With Death” is a compelling read that at the heart is about standing up to tyrants – perhaps something we all need to hear right now. There are trigger warnings at the beginning of the book, something I am firmly in favour of. Issues of consent and found family also weave throughout the book.

Recommended for older teens and up (one spicy scene), this is a sensitive exploration of trauma and healing. Also a cracking good story with intricate world building!
