Thistlefoot is a spell and you might not realize you're in it until you finish the book. It weaves themes of ancestral trauma and healing, story as sacred witness, folk lore and community together into a beautiful tapestry that will leave your heart shaking afterwards.
If you are a witchy person -- reading this book felt to me, like ending a ritual. It invites us between worlds. It is truly magic.
I could write out the premise but the premise of the book does nothing to illuminate the depth and breadth of this work.
For folks who think that fantasy novels are just escapist and don't deal with real life, read this. The prose is stunning, the multiple POVs executed flawlessly, the characters incredibly well thought out.
This is now one of my favourite books of all time. What more can I say?
