I read a lot of portal fantasy - both traditionally published and self-published - and this is one of my favorite books in the genre, beating out even Seanan McGuire or Simon Archer. I've read over 180 books this year, and this is one of my top three books of 2022 - beating out even some of my favorite authors as Laurell K. Hamilton & Ursula Vernon for that spot.
This is a book that knows coming out narratives, cyberpunk stories, portal fantasies, & polyamorous romances, and uses that knowledge to build fresh, nuanced dynamics; clever allusions; and multilayered, smart worldbuilding that nothing else I've seen this year can equal.
Read it now. You're in for a treat.
