This was tremendous.
If you had said, "Hey Hannah, read this folk tale about generational trauma," I don't know that I would have picked up Thistlefoot enthusiastically. But this was such a good read.
I think some people would describe this prose as flowery or purple or excessive, but for me it worked well within this folk tale setting, especially within an audiobook.
This was wonderful and I think will appeal to fans of Alix E. Harrow. I can't wait to read more from Nethercott.
Pay attention to the content warnings because it is a book about trauma, and dips occasionally into horror territory as well.
