Oh, and then there's the politics. Wilhelmina and her family have their own point of view. It's one that I came close to sharing four years ago, but no more. In one chapter, the young woman is following the election. "The monster was leading in almost every swing state." (pg 203). I asked myself: which monster. They're both monsters; we know that now. Just a thought!

And I have many thoughts. There are a lot of lovely things here: I suspect it may be Cashore's most autobiographical novel. It features a heroine who is not royalty, not gifted with supernatural powers, and not a friend of an incredibly wealthy family. It has the feel of historical fiction even though it's set just four years ago--and I think it's brave of Kristin Cashore to tackle a story set in an ongoing pandemic.
