Passing Strange by Ellen Klages
4.0

Beautiful. Evocative. Magical. It made me nauseous, it made me smile, it made my heart yearn for Helen, to soothe her melancholy. It's suggestive, hopeful, heavy, and rich with a gorgeous cover that I could stare at all day. Even after I finished it for the first time, it was worth a reread just to see how all the pieces slotted together from the very first page.

Other reviewers are correct in that there is a lot of unexplored magical potential within this novella. They are aspects that I would've enjoyed more of, too. And more Helen. :c
SpoilerI wanted to know what happened to her all those years between.
