I really enjoyed Feast While You Can, it’s not the kind of thing I usually pick up, but I thought it was really well done. I’m a bit squeamish about horror, but I didn’t find this too intense, it was all fairly tame with one or two moments that were a bit harder to stomach (lol).

I liked the depiction of small-town living, and what it’s like being queer or otherwise different in this type of space. I also loved seeing the relationship develop between Angelina and Jagvi, and Patrick as well.

The setting didn’t really work for me, I would have preferred it to be set in a real place. I kept getting distracted by the details we were given about Cadenze and trying to figure out where it was set. It seemed very North American to me, but kept referencing ‘the war’ and the Romans? The time frame was also confusing, it felt very contemporary but then mentioned the turn of the millenia at the end? But overall that’s very minor and didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story overall.
