competencefantasy 's review for:

In the Vanishers' Palace by Aliette de Bodard
5.0

This is so beautiful. I was completely invested despite reading it when my brain was acting up and my body was tired. Gorgeous, emotionally pulling, and thematically fascinating from end to end.

2nd readthrough: I love this; oh I love this. The characters are whole. There are quotes that bare my soul. That one scene, that other scene. I just *fit* in this book.
