Let’s say you’ve been completely entranced by S.T. Gibson’s writing and storytelling, and you’ll do almost anything to get your hands on a copy of her next book as early as possible. Hello, that person is me.After A Dowry of Blood, I just knew whatever Gibson was going to write next, would be my thing. With this, I wasn’t wrong.Evocation immediately draws you into the story, almost like you’re part of it. It’s atmospheric, unsettling, with plenty of content warnings, but at the same time, weirdly comforting.This is because the author is a master at making you fall in love with her characters. Honestly, it doesn’t take long for you to understand them, flaws and all. The magic system within this book was so interesting. I loved the slow reveal and build of it, and I’m pretty sure there’s plenty more to come and explore.I will say that while the book is a nice blend of occult magic and relationships, this tender balance does sway more to relationship-building at points. So much so that I forgot what the main plot was about - but only for a short while.If you’re looking for something occult, queer, romantic, yet spooky, add Evocation to your list (out May 2024)!Thank you Angry Robot Books for my advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.For more reviews and book recommendations, check out my YouTube channel
