2020 book 128

Jen Williams' The Bitter Twins
I can’t say much about this second book without spoiling the first one, so I’ll just mention that this is weird and fun and heartbreaking in about equal measures. There is a fair amount of cruelty and a lot of this is intense; also, people keep trying to kidnap animals which I personally found very aggravating. (There are great animals here.) There's no sexual violence of any kind but there is other violence; this is not really gentle fantasy by any means. My favorite couple is super cute here though! I have no idea how this story is gonna wrap up so you had better believe I am diving into the third one. A/A-.
