I enjoyed the non fantasy parts best. The card game metaphor was important to the story’s theme, but wasn’t well integrated. This was such a thorough, sensitive exploration of domestic abuse from the eyes of a child with an overlay of fantasy. I also enjoyed the effortless lesbian and neurodiverse representation!
