A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannah Moskowitz
2.0
This book was trying so freaking hard.
F/F sex is used as therapy and foreplay for straight sex. Yes, everyone's bi and everyone's poly and everyone is so progressive they spend the entire book killing themselves to facilitate a straight relationship.
The mythology is interesting and the politics are weird. The writing is the kind of stylized breathless prose that would result from shaking an urban fantasy magnetic poetry kit and spilling it onto the floor. It's studiously unprecious to the extent of pretension. The fourth wall is painted about nine different colors. It's a lot of trying for a straight supernatural romance.
