Aetherbound, by E.K. Johnston

4.0

Review on reading: Oh wow okay. Now it took me a while to get through this one, because when it starts by saying "worst family ever" it is not kidding. It starts DARK. And then we get to healing, but we have to earn the agony first.

Very inventive fantasty/sf worldbuilding, I thought it was going to be a very quiet book and then it ALL happened in the last 60 pages, fascinating in its approach to different relationship dynamics and a healing journey. And pregnancy. There is honestly a lot more pregnancy in this book than I was expecting.

Described by the author as
A little bit Arthurian, a little bit post-1992 fisheries collapse, the worst family EVER, and magic, because: why not? -(x)
