    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 2.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 2.0

    The setup for this was incredible and there was a lot to love about the friend group, the setting, and Cedar's history. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking a bit, and I think the town and the lake were vastly underutilized. The story ran on vibes for a while, but those sort of fizzled out by the midway point, and Cedar had so little control or influence over their own story that I started just losing interest in what they were doing. Answers ended up just falling into their lap and I'm not sure they really accomplished anything themself or changed as a person, which makes the whole storyline fall kind of flat. So while I appreciate the characters and the underlying intention, this ended up being a strangely cozy read rather than the smalltown horror I had anticipated, and I was left somewhat unsatisfied in the end.

  • Would Horror with Magical realism count?

    Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a horror novel at its core, but also has dark fantasy, magical realism, and urban fantasy vibes.

  • Recommending a mermaid one!

    I just finished The Deep by Rivers Solomon! It's got non binary gender representation and sapphic representation! I think it would go great in this quest!

  • I LOVE THIS QUEST

    I just wanted to show gratitude for this quest. As a queer person who grew up in the late 90's/00's and confused with their sexuality when internet was just becoming a thing, good queer books were hard to come by. good queer fantasy and sci fi? nearly impossible! that's why i stopped reading for over a decade, and then on reddit i happened on a queer sci fi and fantasy page and bought my first book (jasmine throne, i thought it was alright but sapphic women! that excited me!)

    so it's really lovely to read so many books that teenage me wishes they could read, particularly the priory of the orange tree!

    (I'm one book away from my first badge!)

  • A Master of Djinn (Dead Djinn Universe, #1)
    Cop vibes?

    For people who have read this, how similar is the ministry that the MC works for to a police force? Does MC act like a cop? TIA!

    Is this going to be my new favorite book? It's making a strong bid for the spot. I think this one has absolutely flown under the radar — it's so beautifully written and has incredibly complex characters but I haven't really seen anyone talking about it
