ALT Review Reads - FIGS THAT WAS GLORIOUS. Thank you so much Jack @cipher_press for sending me this early copy. Pip Property may be one of my all time favorite literary characters they own my soul completely. Earlyfate is the eagerly awaited sequel to Nettleblack, this time focusing on everyone's favorite charming cravat designer Pip Property. Nat Reeve has such a way with words that their story feels so natural and loops its way around your heart. The way Nat understands and writes about gender (or lack of) is simply stunning and has such an impact - Nettleblack had a massive impact on me two years ago when understanding my own non-binaryness and I will be forever grateful. This story was such joyful chaos I loved every second of it. These characters are flawed, charming and clever which makes a winning combination. A clever plotted and thrilling crime story that blends so well with Nat's trademark charm.
