Rare Birds by L.B. Hazelthorn
3.75

another book I read through the queer liberation library on the libby app!

this was such a tough book to get through, dense, and so long. I liked the characters, but the different plot lines running through each other got me so confused. the magical elements became clear to me only 80% into the book. i would've liked a bit more explanation for the rest of the book, too. it would've helped me a lot with understanding what was actually going on. maybe they could've split up the story into 2 books instead with a bit more explanation...

the ending was a bit underwhelming to me.

what I did immensely enjoy was the casual queerness. rom and ditto were clearly in a romantic relationship but it didn't feel as if it was a big revelation, even though they did have to keep it a secret from the world, if being the 1920s.
