Pádraig Ó Tuama writes, "I believe in being believed. The opposite of it is a horror." A Study in drowning showcases the horror. I appreciate that Ava Reid turns the romanticized trope of a fairy king on it's head to showcase the underbelly of misogynist people and structures while making room for friendship, hope, and healing.
