The Galloway Road by Catherine Adams

4.0

THE GALLOWAY ROAD was a fun, short, and creepy read that I'm glad I got around to reading. First because, yay, ace protagonist, and the rep is good (as in, I can't remember major flaws or "heeh that's iffy" moment, not as in "holy shit this is IT"). But also because this book puts a lot of emphasis on friendship and its value, and manages to develop the characters involved in said friendship fast enough despite the limited space. My main/only gripe is that the editing is irregular (like, say, random tense changes that don't serve purpose) and I feel like it could have been polished more.

If you love playing Skyrim and want an interesting fantasy read recreating the first creeps of going into a barrow hill, you ought to pick this one up.

Oh, and because I know death of LGBTQIAP+ characters can be very important for people to track,

the MC in this was in a relationship with another girl, who died before the story takes place, and this is important to the story. I feel like it was treated with respect and not "just a plot point" or "died because lesbians", but YMMV on this.
