I F'ing loved this story. Well written, well executed. It's the cutest, sweetest romance novella. I'm a hard-hearted curmudgeon and this made me tear up something fierce.

This was really good, it just felt like it lost some of the western-charm in the second half

Favourite of the month! WOW!

The whimsy here really drew me in. I was enchanted by the story and in love with our complex characters. I really felt the trans rep in here, in hit hard.
I love the magic in objects and harnessing that power to create a person was amazingly cool.

Really want Austin Chant to write more books! I need them!!

I have a particular fondness for books that focus on a limited cast, in a small space--think The Lawrence Browne Affair, by Cat Sebastian, or Room, by Emma Donoghue. Here, too, a good chunk of the book focuses on Cecily and Roy, in Cecily's home. That narrow scope, from a writing perspective, can generate really interesting results--plot evolutions that happen strictly via interiority, for example.

Anyway, this book is also t4t and has fascinating magic in it--a quick, satisfying read :]!
