Flyaway

[psocoptera]

Flyaway, Kathleen Jennings, novella. Fairytale elements and interwoven family histories in fantasy Australia. Some beautiful description and neat slow unfolding of everything going on. I might not have been a good reader, though, because I felt like a whole bunch of stuff came out of nowhere at the end, leaving me sitting there like "wait, the what? the who now? what what?" when maybe I was supposed to pick up on clues earlier. I'm definitely glad I read it and I wouldn't mind seeing it on ballots but I think for my own noms I'm going to stick with the five I have right now.
