Before We Disappear by Shaun David Hutchinson

4.0

*Thank you NetGalley for sending me an eARC In exchange for an honest review* 3.5/Before We Disappear is an enchanting LGBTQ+ fantasy taking place in 1909 at the Seattle Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Two assistants, of rival magicians, fall in love under difficult circumstances.

Wilheim and Jack are the highlight of this book for me. Their relationship is sweet and well-developed. It was easy to fall in love with the side characters as well — Ruth, Jessamy and Lucia were all so interesting. Teddy can choke.

I did find myself incredibly frustrated with pretty much everything Jack did in this book lmao but it was still a fun read.
