I know Ursula Vernon has a lot of stories under her belt, but until I read Jackalope Wives (LeVar Burton Reads) I hadn't read anything of hers. Then I read A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking which I'm going to go back and rate because I can't get it out of my head.
In that one (and Minor Mage) there's this recurring theme of Children having to do things because adults in their lives failed them. I don't mean in the usual kid lit way. I mean in Minor Mage, the protagonist sets off for a quest he was already going to go on because an angry mob forced him out of town. He's 12. Maybe I just need to read more Middle Grade, but it feels like T. Kingfisher forever amazes me
@eb76fd566cce52ed0afc588561864914@boundcovers.com I quite liked it (though I've read it before). I like Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse stuff, and I have a fondness for this one (over Shadow & Bone) because I started with it. If you had any resources for learning about Eastern European Folktales, I'd love to hear them :)
