Gosh I found this awkwardly told and under developed. The world building is muddled, the plot is rushed, the characters potentially intriguing but there’s entirely too much Basil Exposition. 

The setting has huge potential and I like that the story starts with an established (gay) couple; but the novella itself left me absolutely cold. 

The whole thing works only to set up stories to come, but I probably wouldn’t continue if I weren’t obliged to read more as part of the awards judging.
