Even though I knew the end by CL POLK 4/5 🔮s
A fun, bordering campy sapphic noir magical detective story. The noir elements are played up to point of satire, but I still enjoyed the text. It's not the best sapphic love story I've ever read, but it's sweet and provides insight into what couples could've looked like back in the 20s/30s.
I didn't find the mystery compelling, but I liked the use of magic and the religious aspect of the magical system. I would love to read another story set in this world, but these characters did not fully compell me.
