Flight: A Tor.com Original by Claire Wrenwood
My rating: 4/5 cats

i liked this one, but it’s shallowly written enough that it’s the kind of story whose appreciation of it depends on what the reader themselves brings to it. it’s a fast read, made from the scaffolding of a powerful story and some striking imagery, with very little character depth or agency or psychological insight. which is fine by me; sometimes simplicity is best to showcase yer dark shadows.
anyway, you decide—i got an all-day birthday feast to start destroying
