  • Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A
(from my notes in the reading log) 
* novella about a young woman who travels to the World Beneath the World Beneath to reverse a tithe made by her father, whom she dislikes
* loved the world building and tight plot points
* the MC's motivations I felt could have been clearer? She hated her father, but enough to travel between worlds? Did not set up her good heart, I felt. She seemed more blase about her mother's activism
* the magic was awesome, based on faerie stories 
* And it was gay. MC is either gay or bi and her best friend is a trans woman. The narration even switched pronouns! 
* Finished 12 December 2020
