It was a great place to be and I agree.hsimone wrote: ↑01 Mar 2021, 10:14It is a nice change, but I kind of don't blame her in wanting to stay. No one cares how she looks like or have this strange idea that girls are supposed to look a certain way. They treat her with respect. The centaurs seem to be open and caring toward Regan, and she found a good friend in Chicory (awesome name, by the way!).
I liked Chicory and the rest of the tribe. They did have a strange system of mating, though...

That's a good thing since my library e-book loan expired and now I have to wait to get it back in order to finish it.

I liked it very much and rated it 4/4 stars. I liked the Hooflands, the thought-provoking themes, the writing, and the story itself.

That's great to hear! I can't wait to continue!
I'm curious to see if Regan makes it back home to her parents and if she ever confronts Laurel after all this time.

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Laurel is the worst! Can't imagine what her parents are like...I'm imagining that apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Can't decide on a rating quite yet...I may be leaning toward a 3/4.

Don't worry about spoiling. I'll probably just force myself to buckle down and finish it soon.
Slumping is no fun.
(Thank goodness for Seanan McGuire. I haven't been able to read basically anything else for over a year now...)
