the true gift of genevieve valentine is the ability to make me inhale deeply with one perfectly-crafted and perfectly-placed sentence

oh...oh no... oops, could have had a better first experience of that i imagine

oh crap...

this is shelved as sci fi but so far i don't really see that? not a criticism, just surprise

"As she stepped out of the water from the first picture she ever took, Hakan asked her a question in Quechua. She looked up at him and couldn't answer; she didn't know what he was saying.
That's how it happens. They fill you with the things they want from you, and you can't hold on."

this really feels like an extended short story by the style and i can't say I'm mad at that

really liking this so far. beautifully written - only to be expected from valentine - and full of thrilling action
