A couple big reviews of big books recently, so I very deliberately went for something small this time. And this was a delightful little read! Wound up going through the whole thing in a single sitting and absolutely loving it. Just the right amount of world-building in what is a very interesting setting; it fed me new bits of background information at just the right speed to keep me hooked. The title had me worried that I was making a mistake, grabbing this as my before-bed reading, that I’d be setting myself up to be too spooked to sleep well, but there was very little “horror” to the feel of it at all.
Very enjoyable read, and the print version was very satisfying in the hand, with a lovely bit of cover art. Check it out.1

It won’t hurt my feelings if you buy it elsewhere; honestly, I’d rather you check it out from your local library, or go to a local book store.
