This was a very intriguing novella, I'm captivated by the world it is set in, and would really like to explore more of it than just the Archive (though as a bookish researcher, the Archive was fascinating in of itself). Azulea was a fine protagonist, and the writing did a good job at conveying how her disability impacted her life and her work.

As an archivist, and a disabled archivist at that, I loved this novella so much. A disabled protagonist, an LGBTQ+ couple as the main romantic subplot, archives, some murder mysteries and zombies and...! All in one. Wonderful.
