Eu não tinha lido uma fantasia anarquista antes, então foi legal experimentar. Decidi fazer a leitura sabendo somente o nome e confiando nas recomendações de outras pessoas que participaram da readathon dos direitos trans de 2024.
Para um livro curto de 130 páginas, eu senti que ele foi bem completo. As explicações das personalidades, objetivos e relacionamentos foram ótimas, meu único problema foi a descrição física dos personagens; não consegui visualizar ninguém.
Recomendo para quem quer uma leitura rápida cheia de mistérios, magia e cervos sobrenaturais.

Margaret's spare, evocative prose is always a delight to read - every time I finish one of her stories, I'm shocked at how much *story* was packed into such a slim volume. There's always at least one turn of phrase in every story that makes me laugh out loud, and she has a real gift for stating the glaringly-obvious-yet-never-discussed with frankness, clarity, and no small measure of gentle loving kindness.
