I held off on reading this book for the longest time because, well, it looked like failures of communication galore and, like, that is stressful.
And it is. But Alistair as disaster bi (Cat Sebastian has a type) and Robin as a nonbinary ball of sunshine made it a lot better, if only because it makes the secret keeping make way more sense and gives the whole thing a slightly gothic thrill.
Also, Joel Leslie, excellent narration.
