Okay. This book took me awhile to read, and I already know I need to reread it because of how metaphorical it is, and knowing that it's a series (trilogy?) makes me feel better/like it more?

Full review to follow, but this is a gorgeous love letter to NYC that I needed, a strange metaphor for COVID maybe?? and definitely a fuck you to those who define genres by Lovecraft's terms. I think. Shit I definitely need to reread this again.
