Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I really enjoyed Untethered Sky. Obviously there's tighter writing constraints that come with writing a novella, but I thought Fonda Lee did a great job of building connection to the characters and setting up the plot for her sort of signature twists/stakes. Worldbuilding wise, this story felt more like it existed in a bubble, but I'd rather have connection with the characters than worldbuilding in a novella. Overall I really enjoyed it and would recommend you check it out even if you've not read Lee before!
