Absolutely loved Elodie and Gabriel, our two quirky-in-their-own-ways academics, the rich, immersive setting, and the all little jabs at humanities subjects, haha. Holton has such gorgeous prose, yet the tension never relents. Such a delight!

Quotes by Keshe Chow (?)

“You know, it's a little sad when you have to explain the punch line of a joke, Chan."
"I only explain my jokes," I retort, in the haughtiest tone I can muster, "to those too stupid to get them.”
― Keshe Chow, Strange Familiars

“People sometimes look at me strangely for talking to my patients like they’re human. But whatever. They’re magical. They’re familiars. Clearly, they understand more than they let on.”
― Keshe Chow, Strange Familiars

“I never forget to check the animals' names. Memorize their signalments. My attention alway zeroes in on what I'm most interested in... the patient.
It's only ever the humans whose names I forget; who I tend to see as an unfortunate, unavoidable side effect of a career working with animals.”
