Holy..Oh My.. *melts*This. This story is EVERYTHING. It started out a little rocky but found it's groove and almost fucking killed me.
1.) Queer ladies FTW! Not just queer ladies but masculine-of-center ladies, a non-cisgender main character, and a yummy yummy butch woman in a cowboy hat. Hooray for something DIFFERENT and an author who's stepping outside of the box and whose writing is representing for some of the other letters in LGBTQ. WOOT!!
2.) An awesome, awesome world was set up in this little story. An-An works as a part time inscriber for spell-craft firms as an inscriber and sometime researcher. Spell-craft firms employ exorcism specialists, spellcasters and other magic-y people. Unlike in other books though, in E.E. Ottoman's world spell-crafting is a big business. The firms are kind of like law firms. I loved it.
So, An-An gets called in to work on a case with a super star in the spell-crafting world, M.C. None of the other inscribers will work with M.C. because she's, well, more than a little abrasive. They're also jealous of how far she's gone for being so young. Add to that that some people have an issue with the fact that she presents as masculine and you get why the firm had to call in an outside inscriber, An-An.
I loved the whole plot of this story and found it very interesting. It was new and engaging. I wish the climax had been a little more exciting but that's just a minor issue for me.
3.) Hot, hot, HOT ending. The issue I have with most f/f stories I've tried is that the sex is just not ummmm...down and dirty enough for me. I like raunch. Even though we don't get to see the full blown sex, what we do get to see had my damn toes curling. So good. So, so good. I can do without the sweet, soft touches. Give me wet blowjobs, hot talk, strap-ons and lust any day please.
So, yeah. I loved this novella and hope from here to etenity that we get more hotness from this author. Now, please excuse me while I attempt to find more stories like this one.
