Yeah, yeah, I know "vampire archivist starring in a queer romance" is like if someone taught an AI how to target books exactly to me. And you know what, it's correct. I will say that I do think this book is kind of doing a lot - some parts of Sol's characterization felt a little like they could have been given to another character for another book, and then it wouldn't have felt quite so crammed. (Did he have to write fanfic AND have formerly been a concert pianist?) But Isaac Fellman writes with such fucking STYLE and navigates a romance that feels REAL that I'll forgive a lot of the "and then"s. Gorgeous and can't wait for his next.
