Book 92: really enjoyed this novella! Sex magic AND a ravenous manifestation of a thing living in a sun showing up and bothering somebody?! I'd read more of this world and story, but sometimes it's the purpose of a novella to leave you hungry.

No no you're cooking! There's definitely Gideon in there. It'd be hard to write queer space opera with horror undertones without touching on Gideon, I think. There's also a soupçon of Warhammer, a sprinkle of Gundam Wing, and a generous dash of Ninefox Gambit. Standing on the shoulders of giants.

It's like a morality play in which a marionette is lowered from the ceiling and we all learn a valuable lesson.

I acknowledge and keenly feel how scary it is right now for queer folks. But I'm not gonna flinch from a dollar store bigot in prefrosh drag.

Grow up.
