Thank you to NetGalley, Oni Press, and the author for the ARC.
I've been quietly lusting after this book for a few years, swearing I would read it eventually, and the time is now! I'm so happy it was on "Read Now" and that I could finally pick it up because YES, it's every bit as magical and cottagecore-y as I had hoped! Necromancers. Flowers, Boys in love. A Ghibli vibe that is only enhanced by the queerness and plants. What's not to like?? And it's a profound enough to tug at the heart but light and cheerful enough to warm you inside. All in all a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing what else the author has to offer, too.
