A review by christinagizzi
A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee

5.0

This was a type of book that I had not read or experienced before. Even though it was fiction, I could tell that it was based on traditions and beliefs that were had around the time that the book was set. I hated that women were treated worse than children. It was like they had no place in society and were expected to be quiet and stay out of the public eye. I guess this is how it was in that time period, but it made me feel uneasy. I loved the story and how it was different from anything I had ever read. Miuko is adventurous and brave, not thinking about societal norms and doing what is best for the people that she cares about. This book was longer than a book I would normally read, but I really enjoyed it.
