Finally! A book I actually enjoyed!! Comeuppance Served Cold is set an alternative 1920s Seattle centered on a magical heist and, well, comeuppance. There are explorations of power and prejudice and the combination of hate and fear. Though it’s a short novella, there is a lot packed in and I would love to read more within this universe—like the fair folk, which played a big role even if they never appear on page. The world-building was phenomenal for such a short tale and it helped me truly imagine this world as it could be. 
There were some parts that dragged on a bit for me—mostly the description of the houses—but for the most part it kept my rapt attention. Just note trigger warnings like racism and attempted SA.
