I love this series. I preordered this one as soon as it was announced and snatched it from netgalley the moment I saw it there. I am not unbiased. That being said, this was an absolutely delightful final cap on the Willow Creek series and I had an ex ...more

"It’s hard to describe this book because it’s so unlike much else I’ve read. It’s told through multiple timelines and mixed media, and doesn’t have a linear plot so much as character development. The character development is the plot, basically. It’s " Read more of this review »

“Your own history is full of humans deciding that one or another group of you is somehow less worthy. At least our belief in our superiority is rooted in our abilities, rather than our physical makeup."
"How was the soup?"
He pulled his hand back like I'd burned him, and I smiled. No matter how superior he thought himself, there was one thing I could do that he never could.
"The soup was adequate," he said stiffly.
"Without salt I suppose that's true.”

“Some folks might call it giving up, but that never felt quite right. It was more like knowing when to stop kneading and wait for the dough to rise. Maybe later I'd be able to choose a direction. I might make rolls, or loaves, or spread the dough with cinnamon and sugar, or dried fruits or herbs or a dozen other things. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere earlier and the dough wouldn't rise at all. No way to know, nothing to do but wait. It might even look like being brave.”

“The dark fruity flavor was overwhelmed by the other sensations the wine brought— the feel of sunlight on my skin and the weight of the heavy braids that fell to my waist, the hair that was long enough for Elan to wrap around his wrist and up his arm until he wore it like a sleeve. The smell of summer rain hitting the dry prairie soil; and at the same time, the smell of pine and water and mountain flowers, all distinct, present but not clashing. The knowledge that I was loved. That I was among friends. The pleasant soreness in my legs that came from climbing a mountain, the taste of just-picked berries and fresh bread made from flour ground that morning.”
