I have seen many people recommend this story, but what really made me pick it up was the end of RoAnna Sylver's review of it:

Ultimately this is a story about letting go of a clenched fist so your hand can be open for whatever goodness next comes to you. The same is true of hearts.

This story was exactly as good as everyone said it would be. It is a magical love story between two trans, bi protagonists in the 1800s, and also about holding on to and moving on from lost loved ones.

I really loved the writing in this story - I was captivated by the story, especially towards the end when everything started unraveling. I also loved the little details or choices, like Cecily making prosthetic limbs and the people loving and remembering her for it even years later.

I'm not very coherent with this review, but trust me when I say that I loved this and you should read it too. <3
