Another Wizards vs. Lesbians recommendation, this one very much to my taste. I do wonder how it would have landed if I hadn't already listened to the episode and knew I would like it.
But also, Simon is one of the most delightful Jewish characters I've run into in fiction in a long time. And seeing how his religion was a quiet but integral part of his magical identity was just so well done.
I agree - I would love to see this novella turn into either a series or the start of a a longer book.
