Why did I think this was a standalone?!? Now I am going to have to wait so long for the sequel, and I want to gnaw my own arm off.
I love love LOVED this, so much. I know that portal fantasies generally are not for everyone, and I also think the more info dump style of worldbuilding may turn some people off. But for me, I just felt so drawn to the characters, so engaged with the various intrigues, so interested to see how the timeline shifts as new events take place, that I simply did not mind. There is a hint of romance here, with some of the types of lines you see in romantasy. I was fully giggling kicking my feet with them too. It’s what I would call a slow burn, arguably, since there is attraction earlier but feelings develop more slowly and there are clear barriers to why they shouldn’t immediately be together.
Ugh, I cannot wait for book 2. What a fantastically enjoyable experience.
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy.

Was this marketed as a Orpheus and Eurydice retelling? Definitely has those (gender-bent) vibes.
