The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling

3.0

I wish that it were a bit shorter and didn’t go into excessive detail at times about the logistics of caving, because while it’s an interesting setting it’s just not something I care that much about. The relationship between Gyre and Em was complex and well developed. The tension between them and their complex relationship built on loneliness, dependence, and grief was well written and realistic. I can relate to the feelings Gyre had of being angry at the person she loves for being far away but wanting and needing to be with them at the same time.
