I enjoyed this so much! While being a sweet and cozy read full of queer holiday happiness, it also addresses some serious topics, like strained familial relationships and other mental health struggles. This story was so comforting and just felt like a hug for the whole read. The world building was super interesting as well. We have a new world after a big event changed up everything, and let me just say it sounds like a definite improvement (I mean, come on. No career politicians? Yes, please!). The magic is whimsical, the romance is super sweet (ugh, Vega has my heart forever), and Indy is a super interesting and layered character. This novella really packed a punch, and I am here for it. Oh, and the smut was amazing as well, so that's just the cherry on top of everything. This is definitely worth checking out!
