Me, My Shelf, & I is 36% done with Deceived by the Gargoyles (Monstrous Matches, #2)
I don't think I'm that into this? But I've got the audiobook checked out so it's good for mindless reading between other things I need to do.

Getting some real Altered Carbon vibes from this, but make it feminist and vengeance.

THEORY: This is Halloweentown fanfiction. Can't wait to tell yall about how Mari (Marigold) Claude is Marnie and Althea is Agatha Cromwell and she needs to take Mari back to her magical home where time works differently and you can live for 100s of years, but right now it's under attack so she needs to start her witch training so she's not defending her home alone. And the mom gave up her magic and hid her daughter's

I'm bored.
I was told it gets more interesting after the "twist" is revealed. So idk, maybe I'll push on in the morning.
Still hella mad about the wasted world-building opportunities.

Still don't understand how this world differs from our own: Capitalism sucks, humans suck. There's rampant inequality and poverty, segregation and second-class citizenship.
But WHY. What made this world basically evolve like ours? Why are none of the powers or abilities or even the scales/antlers/etc being utilized and integrated into the society? Even our world managed to get rock music/etc despite segregation.

And everyone shape-shifts into human (or humanish) anyway. So I'm left wondering-- why??? Why are they non-human in the first place? What is the story being told? They all look and act human so why didn't the author just write them as humans?
I really hope we're going somewhere with this.

Not invested in anything so far. The characters are mostly generic+ unlikable, the plot hasn't started, and I'm not even getting a whiff of world-building.
The mythical creatures are just different races? So it's all a fantasy metaphor for racism and biracial/mixed families/etc. I don't know why humans are toward/at the top of the hierarchy. I don't know how the species function. Might as well just be human races.

The writing is honestly kinda beautiful? I look forward to waking up and reading more.
Hope this holds up so I can recommend it, because I'm already thinking of a list of people who need to check it out if it slaps.
