I'm done, but I'm not going to review. Fairly disappointed that the author got as far as getting a lot of tropes about women's representation in hockey (like everyone talking about their NHL dads, or getting massively underpaid) right, but acting like professional women's hockey straight up doesn't exist in 2024. Even if you didn't have time to include the PWHL because it was so new, did you like.....forget about the PHF? Or international play? I'm pretty disappointed.

Humans becoming cops: I do it so I have an outlet for all this anger that I haven't gone to therapy for, also I can run lights whenever I want Hobbits becoming cops: I do it so I can touch grass, gossip, and try the beer at every inn

Having some Thoughts about magic which is inherently viewed as bad, in a setting placing so much emphasis on magic coming to the mage the way it decides to, not the way the mage would like it to, and where it absolutely must be recognized and trained asap. Feels a little bleak.
