A review by grindrgrrl
The Mellification by Nat Buchbinder

3.0

Nat Bunchbinder takes an experience a lot of trans folks have witnessed (the changing of names) and is able to give it new life, albeit undead one as a fresh vampire story about navigating identity, community and traditions. This story is full of promise and thankfully delivers on that. It is charming and lovingly crafted that feels easy to read in the best of ways.

My only concern is this book feels abrupt and unfinished as it ends without real resolution of characters and plotlines. I imagine future books would rectify that feeling, but as a standalone it is an issue.

Still on the whole a fun read with great promise. I look forward to more.
