A story about exploitation. Lovely and a bit sad.

Oh this was such a delightful read! I love the magical realism bits and I also love how I knew where the story was going from the first few paragraphs — but not in a predictable or spoilery way. I hope the author writes a novel soon!

A short story on Tor.com on when it is good to be disobedient and a reminder to keep your happiness.

This one really made me think and it hit me harder than I anticipated. Actually, Masquerade Season reminded me of The Giving Tree, honestly. One of those stories where the message makes you ache and it leaves you deeply melancholy.
