Was this fantasy? Magical realism? Speculative historical fiction? Whatever it was, it was oddly compelling, beautiful, intriguing. The characters and worldbuilding were strong, and the complex layers of meaning and plot and power dynamics were handled with confidence. I could have done with a little more humour, but at least it had a happy ending (spoiler!) and it's already better than anything I read last year.
