A review by ohmage_resistance
Witches of Fruit and Forest by K.A. Cook

adventurous hopeful
This is a collection of fairytale inspired aromantic stories. Some of these stories were rereads for me, a few of them were new. Overall, I like the way KA Cook covers aro themes, but I think I prefer collections centered around common aro experiences (ie non partnering aros, aro allos, etc) rather than ones centered around a common setting from this author. I generally liked this though. I also like Cook's take on Witches as being very queer and not really fitting into society, and I think ze strikes a good balance between characters who find leaving an oppressive society behind empowering vs acknowledging the reason why they had to leave was because of oppression (which doesn't go away), so it didn't feel just like cheap empowerment wish fulfillment that sometimes these sorts of stories come across as to me.
