Much nastier book than I expected but very good
Revisado: 07-24-20
Went into this expecting something playful in the vein of other adult fairy tales like Lud-in-the-Mist or Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell... and it's not that.
There are some fun trappings, such as fairyland’s unconventional moon and sun, but at it's core this is a very dark, almost gross out at points, gothic pastiche and a very serious minded and sustained exploration of how Christianity might come to grips with the newly discovered supernatural.
There are some moments of character illogic that I suspect might break the book for some people, but for me felt all of a piece with the waking nightmare vibe of it all.
This isn't going to be for everyone, but it's fantastic on the admittedly abrasive terms it sets for itself.

Birds of Prey with Transsexuals
Revisado: 07-24-20
A fast, furious collision of darkness and whimsy. Birds of Prey with transsexuals. Could be more energetically read, but the narration does the job.
A lot is made of how this novel abrasively skewers the conventions of transgender autobiographical storytelling, but it has a great deal of affection for the tradition as well. Would recommended reading alongside Janet Mock’s Redefining Realness.

Historia
Wizardwood, a sentient wood. The most precious commodity in the world. Like many legendary wares, it comes only from the Rain River Wilds. But how can one trade with the Rain Wilders, when only a liveship, fashioned from wizardwood, can negotiate the perilous waters of the Rain River? Rare and valuable, a liveship will quicken only when three members, from successive generations, have died on board. The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening, as Althea Vestrit’s father is carried on deck in his death-throes.

Comment on Narration
Revisado: 07-24-20
I did eventually settle into Anne's narration and it does improve the further into the book she gets, however the first couple of hours are especially bad and crying out for some additional takes
