Description
Good Omens meets The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet in Ryka Aoki's Light from Uncommon Stars, a defiantly joyful adventure set in California's San Gabriel Valley, with cursed violins, Faustian bargains, and queer alien courtship over fresh-made donuts.
Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: To escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. She has already delivered six.
When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka's ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the curse lifting. She's found her final candidate.
But in a donut shop off a bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn't have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan's kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul's worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as vast as the California coastline.
As the lives of these three women become entangled by chance and fate, a story of magic, identity, curses, and hope begins, and a family worth crossing the universe for is found.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls—Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle—took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department.

Histoire
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.

Histoire
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

My new favourite novel
Is it science fiction, urban fantasy, music fiction or trans coming of age? No, it's not. It's literature that draws from all of these genres to create a Post Modern, Anti-racist love song to Absurdism and the vital need for art that lives through us.

All The Feels
January 2022 | 4/5
A family of aliens has travelled across the galaxy and opened a doughnut shop on earth. A violin virtuoso that has sold their soul to a demon. And a runaway, transgendered student looking for a home. Ryka Aoki blends genres masterfully in this tale.
I wasn't sure why we had aliens in a fairly standard, 'sold your soul to the devil' story, and just assumed a weak plot device to hammer home the sociopolitical message - and then, as the story came together, I couldn't help but smile and appreciate.
An easy read, that's tugs on your heart strings and forces you to see how your own follies and past judgements have impacted those around you.
This is a great read for anyone that's struggled with personal identity, embracing the unknown, or fitting in while you let yourself shine.

Weird but not bad
I feel like there is potential for two really great books in here: one, a cozy donut shop romance where the mom of the alien family falls in love with a human; the other, a darker fantasy with hints of hope wherein a damned musician searches for the seventh soul to sell to hell, the one that will free her own soul from a bargain she made decades ago. When you put them both together, the book is just...weird. Neither one lives up to their plot line.
That being said, I loved the queer and trans rep in here and how the author pulls no punches about what it takes to survive as a trans woman. I'll keep my eye out for what this author comes up with next.
