It's moist month at The Hidden Bookcase. Our second read is Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore, chosen by Sorren. Let's talk magic as metaphor, main characters we can't choose between, and making gender forecasts.
Content warnings: Discussions of misgendering, bullying (with transphobic, racist, and ableist connotations), and internalised ableism.
