@starkatt The author actually grew up writing fanfic if I recall correctly, and it shows, in really lovely ways.

@indi @starkatt Yeah, I was going to recommend that too. :-D

@emanate @indi Any suggestions on which I read first? :D

@starkatt @indi The Long Way one first, it introduces the characters. A Closed is the sequel, largely. :-}

@emanate @indi This is the perfect suggestion so far. I absolutely see and appreciate what you mean by it being fanfic-inflected -- it lends a playfulness that I didn't know I was craving until I had it.

@indi @emanate ahhhhhh the problem is now that I'm reading it too fast!
<3 Sissix so hard. Nice scaly friend.

@starkatt Yeah, I had the same feeling. I was thankful there are two books at least! But now I need moooooore.

@starkatt @indi I was hella crushing on her too. And like...hoe much her entire society (when you get to see it) is similar to what​ we tend to want to build.

@emanate @indi holy shit, this passage is perfect https://awoo.space/media/gebHC5REnTfxHa43hso

@starkatt @indi @emanate *looks around* HA HA WHAT A LUDICROUS THING TO HAPPEN IN ACTUALITY WHO WOULD DO TH- *scrambles to pick up this book* XD

@emanate @indi @starkatt Actually I'm just screaming THATS US at the computer while hopping around excitedly

@Oneironott @starkatt @indi
Yeah basically. :-D

@indi Gosh, that sounds perfect :D

@indi @starkatt I read the sample of the first book today and I'm figuring out how to buy and read the rest now. :D
