I'm late on this one as it got lost in the holiday shuffle.
This novella was very sweet. Cosmic mermaids? Yes please! I think I would've liked more information about how they came to be, but it's sufficiently mysterious. I thought the idea of magic being simple things like a trail of interconnected coincidences was sweet. Some things I didn't understand, like how Benat and Jones were lovers, but then he/she was also Fer's found family sibling with no mention of Benat. Or how these timelines intersected or did not intersect or how Jones even escaped prison time considering he/she was holding onto Fer before arrest. But that's just me thinking too hard.
