A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee
4.0
“Everyone needs everyone, and no one gets what they want alone.”
A time travel paradox with a demon curse, forest spirits, demon slayers, gods, quests, family drama, and community gender tension. A bit overly twisty (where *does* the curse actually come from?), but fun nonetheless and I loved the way that different characters try to help each other.
I really enjoyed this.
Reading this at the same time as Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Vampire Hunting, it was very funny to me how similar the two stories are. One is set in contemporary U.S. with Ghanaian mythology, and the other is set in a historically coded fantasy world steeped in Japanese folklore. Both feature young ladies trying to navigate their world who rely on help from a ragtag group of others. Both have trips to spirit realms and favors from gods.
