Set in a fantasy world in country without a concept of gender this story about 3 young individuals and their relationship to a particular library is compelling in the realism of how a workplace might feel in such a setting. Many of the characters are ace and the romantic relationships are second to the plot of locating a lost book and the upcoming Head Librarian trials. 2 of our MCs are in a plationic relationship and I love that. It's actually quite hard to describe this book without spoiling it and I would recommend you read it if you are interested in queer books by queer authors.

One of the main characers experiences manipulation from eir boss and it drives some of the plot. There's content warnings for the book on the author's website and I believe details are given.
