A really nice novella, I liked the fact that the main character is a strong middle age woman.
A very interesting planet in the cosmere...

⭐️: 5 / 5

“Respect the land as you would a dangerous beast, but do not hate it.”

💭 A short story that was submitted for an anthology of strong women. 

What I liked:
  • Cosmere novella
  • Atmospherically spooky
  • FMC
  • Horror elements 

What I wasn’t a fan of:
  • Nothing, just could’ve read another 300 pages of this

I LOVED this. I don’t often read novellas but jumped in on this as part of a stormlight-ish read along and what a way to start. I am so excited to continue reading. 

⚠️ PTSD, violence

Fun little novella, all my books were packed up except for Arcanum Unbounded so I dug into this one. Few but very fun characters, I really loved reading the postscript in how this story came to be and all of the rules of this world.
