Finna

Finna, Nino Cipri. This was... fine? Cute concept, an enjoyable enough read. I would not have put it on the ballot ahead of any of my nominees or almost-nominees that didn't make the ballot (Drowned Country, Order of the Pure Moon, Seven of Infinities, Four Profound Weaves - plus Ring Shout and Salt&Fortune that did make it of course) - there were so many novellas this year I really liked that it makes it a little extra-hard to muster enthusiasm for lesser contenders. But that's a little unfair; it is a fun concept.
