YOU DID IIIIT! NOW WE HAVE MORE ART!! This means pretty interior illustrations, small divider details, the little flourishes that will allow us to hire more queer artists per issue! Thank you so much. Our NEXT stretch goal is NONFICTION 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

This series is one of my comfort reads, with humans humaning awkwardly while saving the universe. AND it is fundamentally archeology sci-fi (a sub-genre I weirdly love) with a consistent magic system that could make it fantasy, but really it is just sci-fi so soft it's mushy. Read. These. Books.
