- NETTLE AND BONE is a short, strange, wonderful book. It's both horrifying and funny, managing to balance a serious plot with delightfully weird characters.
- The group that Marra gathers along her journey is a great little ragtag crew, each character unique and full even with the book's brevity.
- I mean, don't you want to read a book that has both "burn the patriarchy" vibes AND a chicken possessed by a demon?
