A bit late on this, but:

Who the fuck names their kid Almond? This is a personal pet peeve of mine, but I hate when authors give their characters quirky names just to make their title sound interesting. Almond, Quartz, and Finch is a much more attention-grabbing than Sam, Alex, and Charlie.
As the ritual of Naming approaches, brash Quartz already knows the path ahead, while watchful Almond feels torn, fearing that any choice will disappoint someone in the family. Prowling through secret fortress tunnels, Almond and Quartz overhear a villainous plot: an ambitious underling schemes to seize power from Finch, the rightful Irzemi heir.
I was gonna say this Kai person is a raging narcissist for making a children's book about how awesome he was, but I looked him up and he's only 14 and has been "out" since at least 2018 (A). The poor thing was 8 years old in 2018. He's also signed to CAA (A), the talent agency that astroturfed Dylan Mulvaney. Y'all better head on down to your local haberdashery. I'm gonna need all the top hats they've got.
