We Are Bookish, "Read Queer All Year With These 20 Books"

"This character-driven fantasy thoughtfully explores Lando's gender identity and the prejudice they face. The romance element is cozy and matches the book's overall themes of being authentic and recognizing the value of life." - Kirkus

"Hinds' YA debut examines what it's like to be different--particularly when one's identity is further marginalized within an already marginalized community...themes of grief, suicide, gender and sexual fluidity, and systems of oppression are discussed with care." - Booklist

"Drolly funny and with a wildly inventive magic system, this is an addictive read." - The Bookseller

"If you've been hunting for a more grounded fantasy story to get lost in, we can't recommend Witchlore enough. It feels rooted in reality yet deeply magical all at once, with a powerful queer allegory and lovely story of love, longing and loss at its core." - Sweety High

"Genuine and surprising. Hinds has created a witchy, magical fantasy that explores grief, self-love, gender expression, and societal expectations with nuance and care."--F.T. Lukens, New York Times bestselling author of Spell Bound

"Witchlore is all at once a page-turning adventure through old libraries, supernatural history and British folklore, a tender and complex queer love story, and a profound exploration of grief, survival and the power of self-acceptance. Wise, brilliantly written, and full of humour and heart - I loved it." --Sophie Keetch, author of Morgan is My Name
