It was... something alright. First, the stuff I loved: a bunch of artists and lesbians in San Francisco in the 40’s? Hell yeah! I liked Helen, wished I had more of her though. The ambient the book sets is very magical very mysterious and I really liked it. But it was too short, and the final resolution, although satisfying, left me like ... that’s it?. Alas, I wanted more, the main pairing although beautiful, could have used more time to develop in my opinion, and the magic... I guess for some people would be enough... but I like my magic with more rules and spotlight haha. I had also been looking for this book for months. Perhaps that  raised my expectations, overall, a quick lovely read. I need more wlw content in my life.
