Writers like Austin Chant and Alison Evans are making me realize that there are stories I enjoy within genres I've previously assumed I didn't like. I love Chant's writing style, his worldbuilding, the way his characters interact. Everything is so normal and chill and yet, there's a witch and a clockwork heart and spells going on in this book! But I felt grounded reading this, so I actually enjoyed the fantasy aspects. (Plus, it's not medieval, whew!) Really enjoyed this novella.
