I liked all the rep (especially the fat / genderfluid/ and aro rep). I liked the French/Quebec world setting. And that's unfortunately about it.

I had a really good time reading this book. It was fun and I enjoyed both the characters and plotline.

Dnf, I did not actually read to full synopsis before starting this and one of the mc's being a police officer really did not work for me. I also did not really vibe with the kind of modern, but not really setting.

I really enjoyed this book! The characters are fun and inclusive, the plot is interesting, and I just enjoyed the vibe.

I couldn’t connect with the characters or the world. I’m feeling pretty stressed and want to read something easy while I work towards the end of June.

“They didn’t need more precise rules any more than they needed romantic love. They had faith—the kind that destroyed industries and changed the cityscape forever. All they needed was to keep communicating, and they would get through it fine.”

UGH I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. An adventurous half-detective story, half-heist, all wrapped up in magic and soul-powered industry, cover-ups and machinations, actually good government employees with the peoples’ best interests in mind (HOW REFRESHING) and an incredible non-romantic relationship at the center. It felt so good to watch this form, watch 2 people with different orientations negotiate and find common ground as they become so important to one another, and know that at no point would they be invalidated or made to do anything they didn’t 100% want (perks of trusting the author~). So important.
And super fun, with found family feels, and amazing positive fat rep. (One of my favorite parts is when Adele sees her sister again after a long time away and sees she’s gained a lot of weight—and it’s a GOOD THING, she’s relieved, and thinks Emm will be so much healthier and safer, and just holy crap, we never GET THIS. I’m so glad we get this.)
