Inhaled it in one sitting
Loved this story, and definitely moving right along to the second half of the duology. It was beautifully fantastical, with fairy tale vibes, and perfectly, gently queer. Didn't know how much I needed to read this, I had picked up the free copy when Tor offered it, and I couldn't put it down. Recommend this for fans of The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Starless Sea
