I'm always a big fan of fantasy mysteries and mean lady detectives, so this was just in my wheelhouse. I wasn't super invested in the main plot/mystery, honestly - it was a bit weak and disjointed - but the humour, LGBT representation, endearing characters, and cool worldbuilding that's a wild mess of fantasy and sci-fi with eldritch magic and time travel kept me reading anyway. I also wish there was more character development, but, other than that, I liked it a lot. It's super weird and ridiculous, but in a delightfully charming way.
