Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Iona Datt Sharma, Katherine Fabian
5.0
Oh man, this novella was SUCH an utter joy and a delight.
Set in a contemporary fantasy London, two queer poly people, Layla and Nat, who don't even really like each other at first and have nothing in common except for having the same chaos magician boyfriend have to go on a quest through parts of England to save him before time runs out, after a magic spell goes disastrously wrong.
This was so fun and funny and charming. I loved loved loved how Layla and Nat warmed up to each other in the course of the novella, I loved the entire section where they had to pretend to want to get married to each other in order to get access to a church, and I loved all the relationships in the book -- from Layla's marriage to Katrina, to both Layla and Nat's relationships with Meraud, to Nat's friendships with Ari and Kay. It's all wonderful and so delightfully and effortlessly queer.
It's a quick read and I highly recommend it.
