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.

It needed the nonlinear storyline, even if a bit tricky to follow.
