Storyland by Catherine McKinnon
3.0
Read this for a creative writing class at university
I appreciate the amount of research and accuracy that went into tying all the storylines together - it was fascinating seeing how the land and the people changed over time, and the feeling of mystique and magic, the sense of humanity being larger than the here and now, really came across.
I'm also very impressed at how distinct each perspective was - likely because they're based on real people - because with so many different POVS it can get easy for voices to blend into one another, which in this case, they didn't!
Overall a very interesting read.
