This was a fun story with really fascinating world building. It was very different from the books I typically read but it was really enjoyable once I got into it. The beginning was a little rough because the world that Marie built - a place called the Endless - was a bit complex and in the early part of the story you are getting to know exactly what the Endless is and how it works told through the perspective of one of the “fragments” who names herself Trillin. Trillin is basically a shapeshifting monster who becomes intrigued by the human that keeps entering her world through a portal. Sian, the human witch, is equally intrigued by the humanoid looking creature with tentacles and extra eyes whose form keeps changing. But things go awry in one of Sian’s trips into the Endless and the two end up on a survival mission together.

This was a fast paced, sapphic, monster romance story. It wasn’t an insta love story, but it was definitely insta lust! But in book one of the series there is only one kiss so it is very low spice. I look forward to book 2 and seeing where their adventures take them next!
