Baker Thief

Lots of filler words in the text "had."
Claire is a terrible thief!!
Youngest younger? ch. 2
Spelling out the genderfluidity? Lack of subtlety?
Grammar mistake no comma before but.
Genderfluidity commentary seems fine?

Prose isn't special, very blow-by-blow descriptions.
It's also really tell-y, instead of showing.
Cops, but special unit allowed to look at corruption? Sounds made up!

Adele = insecure, homesick, wanting to uphold the law.

Claire = nervous, easily frustrated, but confident with her twin.
Claude is not that good a keep-in-toucher!

Magicians as marginalized group. Dx
Wow, these witches are bad at community, over two years!? Ch. 5
Zita has personality.
Neo-pronouns aren't too intrusive.

Fat-positive, good!
Em's got personality.
Demisexual = didactic.

Fighting back for marginalized people = bad! Makes things worse!

Conflation of presentation = gender? Not feeling like a man, but still having masculine pronouns.

Okay, so it does have *some* understanding that cops are bastards! They hunt witches.

A nonbinary character, minor. Journalist.

Claire has more personality in her POVs, more looser diction and flow.

The genderfluidity normative exception with Claude/Claire is... awkward, very much in the vein of superheroic trope of double lives.

Switching POV heads without notice. ch. 26
