The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy. A cool coming-of-age story about a trans teen joining a witch coven. We got badass witches, found family, a variety of interesting friendship dynamics, anarchism vs proto-fascism. I'm excited to see where the series goes. #margaretkilljoy #reading

A book being held. The cover is The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy. The art is an ornate gilded cage with a skull inside that has a plant growing out of it. Surrounding the cage are vine like plants and flowers
