It says something about what I've been reading lately that this felt so refreshing, but it really really was. Beautiful writing, great characters. My only complaint is that only one character gets heavily featured in more than one story and he is the least interesting of the lot. I want know more about Samira! Or, like, literally anyone else besides dude bro cop Marcus.
