Life is tough when you're an eldritch abomination.

Trillin isn't technically a person. She's a tiny breakaway piece of consciousness from the all-devouring Endless, doomed to eventually rejoin it. But when a human witch stumbles into her world, Trillin suddenly has a new reason to figure out individuality-one shape-shifting tentacle at a time.

Sian is sure important magical discoveries are just around the corner, if she can just get her portals to work reliably. Reaching the dimension of the Endless without being eaten on sight is a dream come true, and Sian is determined to explore every bit of it. For science, of course, not for the strangely adorable life-form who keeps popping up and trying to... flirt?

But Trillin's world can be a dangerous place, and keeping Sian safe might risk drawing the attention of the Endless itself-which will swallow Trillin up along with all her dreams of humanity. …

Review of 'How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster)' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Short little cosy fantasy novellas (100 pages each) about a witch who falls in love with a fragment of the Endless Void. Trillin may be unable to control where her tentacles and extra eyes appear, and Sian's witchy colleagues may want to burn Trillin out of their plane of existence, but it's a match made in extradimensional terror between these two girls who just want some quiet time together. It may not be groundbreaking or epic but it's a cute, easy read for anyone who thinks Lovecraft needed more sapphic romance and what I can only describe as a demonic tribble companion.

Hilarious & Adorable

No rating

The worldbuilding and general feel of this remind me of Naomi Novik's Scholomance books, albeit slightly lighter. Similar themes, too - Trillin in particular has the whole "my natural talent is for being a terrifying monster but I choose otherwise" thing going on.

Sian & Trillin trying to figure out interspecies flirting is very amusing.
