In the next installment of Winnie’s and Crela’s life they are joined by Anders, a coworker of Winnie’s and a self-proclaimed specialist of the occult. The strict moral rules of the time force Winnie to spend far too many nights apart from Crela if she wants to keep her apartment and despite the fact that Crela’s crypt is exceptionally cosy and well decorated (for a crypt), Winnie is not ready to spend the rest of her life down there. But Anders claims to know a way to break the bond that keeps Crela tied to the cemetery without breaking the bond between her spirit and her flesh.
I really enjoyed that there was a new addition to the group and I liked Anders a lot (who doesn’t love a weird little guy who enjoys gore and science? Honestly peak transmasc rep, I can relate). It was also really interesting to see the way he reacted (positively) to their relationship as it provided an outsider perspective that I enjoyed. (I had really gotten used to living in the crypt but had not really thought a lot about how a tour through it would feel for somebody who hasn’t been here from the beginning. Now I definitely have a bit of a better picture of the place, which I really like.)
Finally, I also really enjoy the discussions that are being had about terminology in these books, with Winnie always making sure to refer to Crela with the terms she feels comfortable with and wants to use, it adds to their sweetness with each other.
All in all, a really sweet installment of the series and I’m excited to see this world growing.
