kitaface 's review for:

The Magus and The Fool by Akiva Hersh
3.0

A beautiful queer retelling of The Great Gatsby. The prose is lush and dreamy, making the book an enjoyable read. All of the characters aside from "Nick" and "Gatsby" are gender swapped and many are queer. Aside from this the story follows the plot of the original novel with very little deviation. Overall a really well written story but I'm not sure it stands alone enough as a retelling.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
