look idk if this book was just exactly what i needed when i read it but it was everything to me. it felt like reading supernatural fanfiction on tumblr with lana del rey's "religion" playing in the background. it just gave me such a sense of peace and nostalgia reading this. i loved every word and it was literally an experience to read this.
anyways, i read this for the 2024 trans rights readathon and am so happy i did! the setting was stunning, with lyrical writing, heavy religious imagery and (borderline) blasphemy that actually healed my religious trauma (thank you fundie upbringing). it was soft and scary and stunning and freydis just set such a beautiful backdrop for an incredibly unique story.
my only complaint is that it wasn't longer i want a full length novel of them😭😭
