Fun story, uninspiring writing

Revisado: 10-25-24

My one complaint about this book is the writing is very basic, there’s no style or artistry. It’s not bad but doesn’t meet my (admittedly fairly high) standards.
Otherwise it’s an enjoyable urban fantasy adventure. The thing that stood out to me most was Carey created a world where systems of power have created a dystopian environment but basically every one we meet is ultimately a decent person.
The main characters are a lesbian couple and they encounter no homophobia, strangers are kind and helpful, systemic bigotry isn’t reflected in individual attitudes. On one hand it’s jarring, I kept thinking “well that’s not realistic” but it’s a fantasy! The point is it doesn’t need to be realistic. It’s an invitation to consider a world where it could be realistic, and I really enjoyed that.
