I'm only two chapters in, and already this book has made me laugh out loud as well as tear up. I've never read Pratchett before (besides Good Omens), but lordy lou. I am already completely invested. His voice is so sharp and funny and touching. Excited to see where this book takes me.

This book is delightful. It's not what I expected in the best possible way. The characters are well-developed, and I love their chemistry. The premise is also quite fun, in my opinion, and I'm just having a grand time. One of the things I'm appreciating as well is that there's a more developed plot in this than I anticipated. This means the book is not exactly the quick romp I expected, but it also means things get to really grow and change in their own time. I'm excited to see where the next 50% of the story takes me. If it keeps up this quality, I can see this being a book I recommend frequently.

Brief notes: A book of it’s time. Some essays still ring very true; some feel dated. By the end I felt a repetitiveness that I think can happen with collected essays. It was hard to finish out the book with fidelity, and I admit I started skimming the last handful of essays.

I know this is a beloved book, and a bit of a classic for urban fantasy. The writing is lush, the story well-developed. Strong characters, too. But the issues with appropriation overwhelm the whole of it for me. Lots of spiritual/cultural tourism here. There’s no doubt Windling got to have her Native American wish fulfilled with this story.
