The River Has RootsThe River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a special place in my heart for poetical works, ones with beautiful language and comforting pacing -- regardless of subject material.

I mean, murders oughtn't have a pastoral feel, right? But this, and the fae, the appeasement, and the tale of the sisters, is definitely one that feels comforting, even so.

Magical, even.

Recommended.
