Emily Tesh's The Incandescent
Usually I try and wait a little closer to release date to read an ARC, but a) Tesh's Some Desperate Glory was one of my favorites of 2023, and b) lots of people are talking about this/reading it, and I didn't want to wait! Also, like, times are tough, let me read a book about queer ladies who work at a magic school. And I enjoyed this a lot! The main character is the Head of Magic at a British boarding school, and she has a sort of enemies-to-lovers thing with the woman who is basically the head of magical security. They fight demons together!! I did think the middle sagged a little—like, please stop being STUPID—but I loved how things wrapped up and adored these characters. Very satisfying read. A/A-.
