But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
2.0
It's an interesting idea that is let down by how disjointed the writing is, as if the author forgot facts just sentences later. For example, at one point, Dalia is pulling on someone else, dragging them to a door, screaming "run," and one paragraph later is described as "frozen." So is she moving or is she not?
Speaking of, Dalia is a paper-thin character with no preferences, fears, interests, or ideas, so when the "romance" happens, it comes out of literally nowhere.
The idea of the Archaic Ones and their magic is cool, but it's not explored very much, even though the entire world of this novella revolves around them. Cool idea let down by mid execution.

Half an overly long, "I'm 14 and this is deep" Tumblr post, half "consumerism but make it aesthetic."

The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People by Rachel Wilkerson Miller

I'm trying to put my finger on why I didn't like this, and I think it's because, despite the swearing and stories used, it reads really young. It might be better suited for the preteen age range.

Interesting little novella to accompany "The Mercy of Gods." Almost slice-of-life style.
