The mysteries continue for Mossa & Pleiti when Mossa discovers that many students have gone missing from the university. & then there‘s a murder.

Just as charming as the 1st! Some more excellent world building, actual follow through from the 1st, a beginning to rekindling the romance without taking over the mystery, & flirty banter! This sapphic sci fi Holmes style mystery continues to delight! & was everything I could have wanted! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Just like the first in the series, this cozy sapphic science fiction mystery set a la Holmes and Watson was lovely. I love how Older manages to balance the cozy gaslamp mystery vibes with some serious questions about the nature of humanity and existence. Also: Pleiti and Mossa are tentatively rekindling their college romance and academics are squabbling. Reading this is like a warm cup of tea that the characters are constantly drinking.
