A slower paced, Queer fantasy story about a group of city folk who travel to a small town to pursuade the locals to let them set up a hotel there, only to find more than they bargained for when they encounter strange creatures and the even stranger customs of the locals.

The characters really drove this story for me, I found them all so memorable and I was quickly interested in their lives and the relationships they would form. Ifry and Jos were such a great match, but I was also invested in Oriana and Eldersie, who had a perfect grumpy / sunshine dynamic.

The ending chapters were harrowing, and really upped the stakes. I think the choices of the final pages let this story down a little for me, as I wanted a better resolution and the audience to be given a stronger answer as to what happened to the characters I grew so invested in.
