The Feast Makers (The Scapegracers Book 3) Kindle Edition
After restoring their powers, Sideways just wants to get on with senior year. But the covens have convened for the trial of Madeline Kline. When this stubborn, independent witch begs the Scapegracers to save her from a cruel and unusual punishment, Sideways knows they have to get involved. It’s the right thing to do, even if Madeline did steal their soul and wear it for a time. Right?
Making an example out of Madeline seems, strangely, just as important to the most powerful covens as divvying up the Scapegracers amongst themselves. Sideways, Jing, Daisy, and Yates are reluctant to abandon what they’ve built together, but as the college acceptances (and rejections) roll in, the offer of a magical family beyond Sycamore Gorge becomes increasingly tempting.
Unfortunately, choosing a new coven will have to wait: witchfinders are gathering in town, and some of these visitors make the Chantrys seem tame in comparison. Every witch—Scapegracer or not—is about to be in grave danger.
And on top of all that, Sideways thinks they just might be in love.
In H. A. Clarke’s signature raw and explosive style, The Feast Makers brings the indie-bestselling Scapegracers trilogy to a dynamic end as Sideways, Jing, Daisy, Yates, and Shiloh tackle college acceptances, queer romance, and the meaning of justice in an ever-challenging world.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“H.A. Clarke’s charmed third runs on pure adrenaline, every line crusted with glitter and pith, the story racing to a deeply satisfying end. Sideways Pike is the teenage butch hero everyone wants to be (or do). Not to brag, but I begged to blurb this book.” —Andrea Lawlor, Whiting Award winner and author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl
“Witchcraft as solidarity, staunchly lesbian, and prose that sparks an absolutely sensorial delight—The Feast Makers is everything the Scapegracers Trilogy has always promised and more. If I put just one series in the hands of my younger self, it would be this one.” —Em. X. Liu, author of The Death I Gave Him
“The Feast Makers absolutely pulses with a witchy electrical current that feels immediate, raw, and more than a little dangerous. It’ll make you want to float through the air and fire off curses through a mouthful of fangs, all with a gang of friends as true and weird and cool as Sideways Pike and company.” —Trevor Henderson, author of Scarewaves, creator of Siren Head
Praise for The Scapegracers series:
* “Magic is palpable, urgent, and simply marvelous in this must-have debut.” —Kirkus
* “Unapologetically queer . . . and seething with raw emotion, this fantasy opens strong while leaving much to be explored in future installments.” —Publishers Weekly
“Loner, lesbian teenage witch Sideways bubbles with nerves, insecurities, and longing in this action-packed debut from a young queer writer.” —Chana Porter, author of The Seep
“This is the dark, twisty, witchy book I’ve always wanted. [Clarke’s] writing is brilliant and gorgeous and firework bright.” —Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians
“Spooky and weird and dangerous, but addictive.” —Shveta Thakrar, author of Star Daughter
“Sharp and exciting, always vivacious and sensory . . . All I want is more—more of these sweet vicious girls and their helplessly loving leader, changing themselves, one another and the world.” —Amal El-Mohtar in the New York Times Book Review
“The Scratch Daughters is a sharp, scathing sophomore novel from H. A. Clarke. Middle books in trilogies often function more as table setting to the main event, but not this one. As much as I long for the next entry, if the series should end here at least it would go out on a high note.” —Tor.com

Also, I absolutely loved that this book told teenagers it's okay if college isn't the right route for them. Other options exist, and that's okay too!! It's something I don't think I've really seen before in YA, and I hope that it's something that becomes more common, because not everyone wants to or has the means to go to college.
I devoured The Feast Makers!! This book is filled with queer found family, excellent LGBTQ+ rep, and queer romance. I loved who Sideways ends up with and how they connected. There is so much to love about this series- Clarke’s writing is witty, uplighting, and delightfully sarcastic. Above all, one of my favorite things is that the Scapegracers is a coven who will always be there for each other. The Scapegracers trilogy feels like a hug, a promise of found family, and the belief that magic happens in community.
I love each of the characters so much and will miss them! (Especially Sideways, Jing, and Mr. Scratch!) I can’t wait to see what H.A. Clarke writes next. I would highly recommend The Scapegracers to anyone! Readers who seek queer found family, fantastic LGBTQ+ characters, and gritty magic that comes with a price will love this trilogy.
I will say, I enjoyed the first 2 books a lot more, but I am happy for Sideways getting her happy ending. I kind of wish there was a bit more humor in the Feast Makers, like the previous ones.
There was also a lull in the middle of the book. But I got through it, and the last 4 chapters had the most action.
Overall, I definitely would recommend this whole book series to anyone I'll meet!
The girls are wild, there's suspense and twists, excellent world building and good storytelling.
Due to my own brain-fog I supposed I missed something but I enjoyed the story
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
