Deep Roots by Ruthanna Emrys

4.0

I really love this series.

+ Lovecraftian atmospheric dread
+ contemplation of ethics/morals based on the characters' religious/belief systems
+ affection group/found family dynamics
+ interracial and queer relationships
+ a focus on ... not on nonviolence exactly, but violence is presented as both an obstacle and an unreliable tool

It all makes me really happy.

If worldbuilding and introspective character development makes you happy, I'd recommend it. If this all makes you think "plot, please!" you'll probably want to skip it 😀🐙
