5.0

A brief but lovely, honest experimentation in letting go and trusting oneself in the process. Hall, again, strikes a perfect balance between levity and gravity, the superficial and the deep. This novella does not drift to darker challenges as Glitterland can but is very much of that world (the character connections become clear, for those who did not just finish Glitterland or who do not have an encyclopedic memory, about 70 pages in). A beautiful read.
