This Poison Heart is simultaneously very much my thing and also kinda not. The author talks in the acknowledgments about how this book was no plot, only vibes, and that is so not me. I need plot for my aphantasia and dyslexia and while it's not entirely plotless the whole middle section drags. But the magic and mythology is so very good, just drawn out.
I love how queer norm the book is and I'm excited to read the sequel now that I know the mystery, just not right now. The journey was bumpy and took me forever
