by Seanan McGuire
This short novel is the 10th in the Wayward Children series. Here we get the backstory of Nadya, one of the secondary characters who appears in earlier books. We get to find out more about Belyyreka, the watery world she entered, and what brought her there. It's a very lovely story about finding one's place and one's people. McGuire also beautifully explores some themes around physical disability and agency. I really loved how the story tackled some serious stuff while remaining restful and affirming. Plus, I really liked Nadya and how she maintained her sense of wholeness even in environments that insisted otherwise.
