Status Updates From Psychopomp and Circumstance

Wait, I thought I think arguably the funniest part that the only way I know that this is a magical post-reconstruction America is because on the first like 2 pages she brought up the freeing of the slaves and it has simply never become relevant since. This could be a completely fictional world with no grounding in historical America.

Please tell me how I’m halfway through this novella, and I know nothing about the world and barely anything has happened. This feels like a YA cozy book that just so happens to be trapped in a magical historical setting, and I’m low-key mad about that because I wanna know more about the magic in this world, and we’re just getting nothing. Why even make the world magic??

WHAT IS THIS PACING, I feel like I’ve been reading this book for three years

Time to read the World Fantasy award winners!

This isn’t bad, but it’s reading very YA.
