A review by howl
Flyaway by Kathleen Jennings

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
Very reminiscent of Angela Carter’s anthology stories “The Company of Wolves” and “The Werewolf” (which I love) but with a central mystery plot thread whose ending I found somewhat unsatisfactory—perhaps it could have used a slightly longer page count.
The eventual allusion to the Mabinogion was intriguing, and overall this novella was a nice homage to folktales and oral storytelling. I’d like to do a closer reading one day
