citrus_seasalt 's review for:
Mooncakes
by Suzanne Walker
Unsure whether to give this 3.75 or 3.5 stars. Fun overall, there was some interesting magic, the slice-of-life approach to fantasy was very cute and the mundane approach to a lot of it prevented infodumps, and I enjoyed the casual representation. However, I was expecting more from the plot itself. It’s not “more vibes” as a couple of negative reviews have said (which, ????), the foundations are definitely there, but I often found myself confused by the quickness of fights, one-dimensionality of the villain and the sudden magical things that were introduced into the plot. (The one con of the mundane approach to the worldbuilding! Sometimes there just wasn’t explanation for certain things.) I would’ve liked to see more substance in the magic system, especially the wolf magic.
It did, at least, bring me a bit of joy during Trans Day Of Remembrance.
