Why read it?
2 authors picked The Incandescent as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a long-time high school teacher I felt attacked by this book - affectionately. Also as someone who wears too many hats and is maybe a workaholic when it comes to what I love. Everything that Tesh explores from Saffy's perspective perfectly captures what it's like to be an educator in the 2020s, and that's only the tip of the iceberg on an absolutely incredible book. It's been a long time since I read something I wish I wrote, but The Incandescent is one of those stories.
Magic school from the professor's perspective - it's an exciting shift in perspective. Tesh goes beyond a solid hook, though, with intricate character work and some stunning revelations to surprise the reader.
