I fell in love with these characters. I cry while reading all of Yang's books. The conclusion surrounding Mokoya's prophetic gift is a little confusing to me, but it did not take away from my enjoyment of witnessing her overcome trauma and get through a terrible tragedy in her life.

This was a good novella that explores a mothers grief, and the fallout that it can take. Entertaining monster hunting action, neat use of gender exploration, a cool fantasy world. I wish that it was more fleshed out, because as a novella it feels slightly rushed. I know that it’s part of a series and I listened on audio, so maybe that’s why I felt like it could have been more.

   I was very disappointed with this one. 
   The main character was an example of what I call the 'Broken Mother'. An individual who has lost a child due to one of various circumstances and is now struggling with anxiety/depression/etc (sometimes leading into villainy or evil - see Scarlet Witch in the recent Doctor Strange movie). 
    In this case the trauma of the main character's death was related to us on page, then used as a reason for her panic attacks and suicidal thoughts that come out of nowhere. 
    Then it was seemingly brushed aside and 'fixed' by the arrival and distraction of a love interest. 

   K thanks. I hated that.
