Again no memory of where I was recommended this, although it’s not bad. It’s VERY “hardboiled detective novel but queer” (and, as it turns out, E rated??), which is cool. I hate the writing style but I think it’s genre appropriate so ymmv here.

However, it loses points for the plot which is very much just assembled out of whatever scenes the author found cool. There’s no consistent tension–it just jerks from plot point to plot point, and the final battle has no stakes at all. I also didn’t get into the romance–like yes on paper it’s exactly my jam, but I don’t buy that either of them has anything beyond some fun sex here, and yet Kate is fighting a fairy prince for her. Sure.
