A gentle breeze stirred her hair, rustling the leaves of the chestnut tree she sat meditating beneath.

The wind could be a welcome draught to mitigate summer's heat, or an icy gust during winter. The helpful zephyrs that spread dandelion seeds, and dried laundry, were one aspect of the same element of air that had battered the coast last winter with hurricane force winds felling trees.

The absence of wind could leave ships without engines stranded on a becalmed sea, while fierce gales could whip up the waves to capsize a vessel.

Balance; that was the lesson she needed today,

But sometimes coincidences are jarring!

It's a YA novel with a teen protagonist and a self-billed LGBTQ+ book. My WiP, Sorceress Apprentice, is none of those things (Female character of colour Bryony is an adult and part of the plot involves her late discovery of her powers and it's a het romance though there are supporting queer characters.)
Still.
It threw me for a loop when I saw the review with the book title.
