Nice book, thought the supernatural element came a bit out of nowhere, but I loved the characters and there was always a good balance of humour. The town setting was really well developed.
A lot of very interesting sci fi ideas in here. They are explored through intriguing and believable characters interacting in heartfelt and some time frustrating ways. Gave me a left hand of darkness vibe with the iceland looming and fantastical adventure. Very good.
Two worlds collide while two people used to defining themselves by the part they play within those worlds slowly discover they are selling themselves short by adhering to the dogma of science or magic. SciFi, magical realism, and an engaging relationship. Super well crafted story.
