It grew on me. I've been looking for a queer-led urban fantasy series that could serve as a comfy escape and while this series doesn't currently have a large number of books, it does hit the character/plotting/worldbuilding trifecta well enough to fit my criteria. My main gripe is that the last fourth of the book felt like a tacked on adventure; ti'd felt like the book ended much earlier, but here we were, being dragged back in for one last thing. Lore and character-wise, it was a big addition, but something about the flow between these two sections didn't totally work for me.
