Representation matters, and seeing families like mine— queer, polyamorous, of multiple cultures and faiths— in fantasy is so good. Found family finding each other make this a delightful, warming story to read at a time of year that can be bleak for many of us.

Please let me sing this book’s praises from the rooftops! It is a modern day fairytale filled with magic, but the way it handles love and gender and sexuality and polyamory and family feels so very true to life. Even the magic feels so real and a part of our world that it would work if you just tried it. It handles the tension between metamors wonderfully and brings them together to be chosen family through their quest for their shared partner just as wonderfully. The characters feel like people I could know and the relationships feel like ones I want to build. I wish there were more books out there like this where gender and sexuality and polyamory and race and religion and chosen family and magic and deep characters and compelling story are all so effortlessly intertwined.

Loved this book! The characters are compelling and their relationships are sweet and relatable. The magic system is interesting and novel. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer.

A wonderful, queer, magical delight of a novella. Charming and funny and has bits that will stick in my mind for a while. I must read more by these authors.

Cute and queerly-familiar and especially charming to see recognizable mid-thirties queers, life stages, and emotional realities described so comfortably.

A bit twee in places and painfully self conscious in others, but still sweet and lovely.
