I really enjoyed my time with this book. It took me a bit longer to read than usual for something novella-length, but I was on vacation and the two big sections rather than standard chapter breaks might have slowed me down a bit. 

This is a cozy fantasy romance in a queer normative magical world, which I appreciate more and more when I find it in books. I really liked that all the domesticity in the first half was all in service of something, not just set dressing. I think the dual perspective division of the story was a clever thing and executed very well.

While I do see how this could have been longer and more detailed, I really had a nice time with what the author chose to show the reader of this world. I was satisfied with the story as is, though an epilogue would have been lovely, too. I've only read a couple of things from this author so far, but will continue to peruse their back catalogue of titles.
