*Fanfic is fantastic, it just was not what I was expecting here!
The magical realism aspect was both less prominent and less explored than I both anticipated and hoped. It feels like a lot was left on the table in that regard. The general vibe of the book is very faithful to the original text, and Gatsby remains somewhat enigmatic.

Despite that, Jordan's heritage and how the political landscape of the time will affect her are barely addressed by. Her paper cutting magic and the magic realism aspects could have been used more prominently and the queerness of, especially Nick and Jordan, could have been explored in more detail. It felt as if still we only got them as a couple who were each fascinated by Daisy and Jay, rather than madly in love with them. I get it was supposed to feel confusing but I think it didn't translate that well into the text.
The interpretation about the souls was interesting, thou.
