“Your story is my story.”
Claudie Arseneault's Awakenings is a sweet novella set in a queernormative world, a cozy adventure that starts when the nonbinary aroace main character find themselves in a situation bigger than them and decide to leave their city and help a mysterious figure regain their memories. The two will cross paths with a merchant and his sentient wagon, and the three will set off for adventure. This book believably lays the groundwork for what promises to be a fun series of short works about finding oneselves and the importance of friendship.
