A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee
4.0
4.5 stars!!
This book was very strange but not in a bad way! It was just unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It reads a bit like a fairy tale but with several unexpected twists that were very intriguing. I liked the world it was set in and the style is nice and clear. I think this leans toward being a middle grade novel in style but the content is more YA, which didn’t bother me at all but it’s just good to know. I liked Miuko and I LOVED Geiki and all the characters were quite well done.
The overall theme of self acceptance was really cool and well executed, and I liked the discussions of misogyny too. Miuko was such an interesting protagonist as someone who had never really fit into the societal mold, and then suddenly fits even less and manages to learn from it. Very very neat.
The world building could have been more fleshed out but what was there was great! As a whole I thought this was a very fun and interesting book and I’m glad to have read it.
