Pixies of the Sixties: You Really Got Me Now by Jul Maroh, Gihef
4.0
Pixies, the Sixties, You've Got Me Hooked Now!
I grabbed this book based on the cover and title alone. You can't make a cover that pulls at my Nostalgia of Winx Club and not expect me to.
Also, Pixies, mischievous fairies that are known for frightening maidens and leading travelers astray. It sounded like a great time!
AND I WAS RIGHT!!!!
It is GAY, AND IT SLAPS!!!!
Both stories are fascinating, but Annan's ends up being the darker.
The subtle world-building throughout the stories is terrific. I wanted to learn more and more about this world as I continued to read.
If you enjoyed Carnaval Row, you would also enjoy this work. It is a little lighter overall, but it has similar themes, and more than those, I found myself finding parallels to the show.
CW: Amputation, Assault, Attempted Sexual Assault, Death, Drugs, Homophobia, Hostages, Kidnapping, Murder, Nudity, Racism, Torture, Violence, and Xenophobia.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
