Shadows On The Border by A.L. Lester

adventurous emotional lighthearted sad slow-paced

4.0

I liked this book a lot, although I’d like to see more of the relationship development between Alec and Lew explicitly on-page, and not as something described as happened earlier. The set-up for the magical rules and the world-building were complex and interesting, immersing me in the story. Still,  the book had some issues, mostly about pacing. Also, like in the previous book, I wished that the few female characters had more place in the story and more agency. Overall, I liked pretty much everything about this book, as the other ones, with the magic, love, time travel, the 1920s setting and the LGBTQIA+ themes. I loved the characters, especially the introduction of a nonbinary character and the set-up to the next book.
