Desdemona and the Deep

[psocoptera]

Desdemona and the Deep, C.S.E. Cooney. This was a lot of fun - rich heiress realizes her father has traded away some of his workers to the fae, and goes down to the fae underworld to get them back. Well-written, compelling pacing, some good imagery, an f/f relationship and a trans character, good stuff all around. Will probably add it to my nominations (I believe the theory is that at 41017 words it can get administrated into the novella category for Hugo purposes).
