A quick little novella that reminded me of American Gods and Good Omens. Good world-building. Not 100% sure why it won / was up for so many awards, but to each their own.

A little preachy on the LGBTQ+ stuff. But maybe that is just me wanting queer relationships to just be okay and not to have to be told as a reader that it is okay. Maybe I am thinking about this wrong, but it just frustrates me. That said, it was nice to see queer love celebrated front and center and not in a trauma-centric way. Also does NOT commit the "bury your gays" trope, so that is refreshing.

Really a 3.5, but rounding up for queer representation.
