Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Iona Datt Sharma, Katherine Fabian

5.0

Please let me sing this book’s praises from the rooftops! It is a modern day fairytale filled with magic, but the way it handles love and gender and sexuality and polyamory and family feels so very true to life. Even the magic feels so real and a part of our world that it would work if you just tried it. It handles the tension between metamors wonderfully and brings them together to be chosen family through their quest for their shared partner just as wonderfully. The characters feel like people I could know and the relationships feel like ones I want to build. I wish there were more books out there like this where gender and sexuality and polyamory and race and religion and chosen family and magic and deep characters and compelling story are all so effortlessly intertwined.
