Its a really good book. Its queer its short and its NOT explicit which I really like. I really like when period pieces add magic or fantasy its really fun and I think its nice. The way that the world is established and drawn out is really interesting and the way that the period interacts with the lesbian main characters

they wear rings, so people think they are married, the way that they have to pretend to have husbands to shop at more masculine stores and buy cigs

. Its 1950s its fun its playfully. I fully recommend it.

For those looking for a quick sapphic tale of angels, demons, and the things we'd do for love.

This was such an unexpected delight, especially because I’m not the world’s biggest historical fiction fan.

In my opinion, the audiobook was the perfect way to consume this story. I loved how tender it was, how vulnerable, and how central Edith and Helen were to one another.

Picked this up for the last prompt of my reading challenge and I loved this, so much packed in such a tiny book in terms of genres and world building. It hooked me even though I barely understood any of the magical universe but it turned out I didn’t really needed that understanding because it came along the way; so not sure if it was all specific to this story and written to be mysterious, or wether it was actually accessibly written for readers with entry-level knowledge on wizardry people and - not unimportantly - the bible. These demons and angels were surprisingly worthless however, all withholding information that could save some precious time. Interesting little ride with a pretty but bittersweet ending.
