Very reminiscent of Angela Carter’s anthology stories “The Company of Wolves” and “The Werewolf” (which I love) but with a central mystery plot thread whose ending I found somewhat unsatisfactory—perhaps it could have used a slightly longer page count. The eventual allusion to the Mabinogion was intriguing, and overall this novella was a nice homage to folktales and oral storytelling. I’d like to do a closer reading one day

Very fun! It's an engaging mix of an overarching story with 'tall tales' that all end up relating together in ways you don't expect going in.
