She/Her. 20s. Most of my reading is trying to keep up with my book club. On my own I like SF/F, manga (I track that on MAL,) trans lit and sapphic romance, as well as some non-fiction about topics I find fascinating, like dance music, videogames, psychoactive substances, and computers. I also try to read theory and more academic works, though I've struggled with that since I was younger. My main fedi is currently @throatmuppet@xyzzy.link.

I haven't read enough fantasy since I started reading again to say much that can't be disentangled from my reading experience. I will say: I found the characters interesting, their dynamics more so, and the backdrop of the meso-american inspired fantasy captivating. It was so compelling I finished in one sitting. As soon as the book club for this one wraps, I'm starting the sequel.

Juuuuust what I needed. Very easy reading. Flows over my sickened and sad neurons and directly to my heart. Only halfway through but honestly it could stop here. Very satisfying.
