Highly recommended submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 31, 2021, 10:08pm What a delightful quick story set in a steampunk alternative history of New Orleans and tying in African gods in the Americas. The characters are excellent and the story itself is quick-paced and engrossing. Highly recommended.
