( ) I really loved the world-building of this, but I think it suffered as a whole from being a novella. The length made the resolution seem super abrupt, and I think it could have used more space for the characters to get to know each other and the story to breathe a bit. I see that there's a sequel, I'll still make a point to check that out and see where things go from here. Leaps and bounds better than other anarchist fiction I’ve read. This was an enjoyable read at a quick pace, with good characters in whom I was interested, but I didn’t feel like we got enough time with them. I would’ve read this book if it were three times as long and it would have been more of an experience; as it was it felt curiously like reading a movie. I started reading this book without any expectations as I just wanted to read something short and was rewarded with a refreshing story. I was sucked in by the easy flow of the book and mystical air surrounding the events happening in the town. Things happened so fast and before I knew it, I finished the book and it left me hungry for more written by Margaret Killjoy.
