Really enjoyed this, despite some occasional confusion as a first-person narrator crops up only occasionally (for reasons that are later made clear), exacerbated by devouring this while recovering from Covid. The ways in which Turnbull tells us barely enough about his characters is thoroughly enticing and the otherness-yet-normality of both the queer characters and the monsters is entirely convincing and familiar to me as a queer reader. And the way Turnbull ratchets up the tension leading in towards the climax of this first book had me entirely gripped. I’m definitely looking forward to the continuation of The Convergence Saga.
