The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia A. McKillip
5.0
This beautiful book has sat on my shelf for years because I wanted it to be exactly what I hoped it was and wasn't ready to be disappointed. I have finally read it and I wasn't disappointed at all.
This type of slow burn fantasy is my cup of tea. The writing is so lovely and precise, that in such a short novel McKillip was still able to create a full, lush world full of interesting characters that I cared for and magic that didnt need a complex explanation for the why's and how's.
It was simply an immersive, dark story that felt such like a fairytale. I'm already counting Patricia A. McKillip as an auto-buy author and am adding some more of her stories to my thriftbooks wishlist ❤
