[AD // NETGALLEY ARC]
Motheater, written by Linda H. Codega was given to me by Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review. I don’t know what I expected when I was given this book, but I was very intrigued by the description. To be honest it being a queer fantasy book was enough to intrigue me, and I was not disappointed!
This story is set in the Appalachian Mountains in the US. We meet Bennie, whose friend passed away, and in her effort to uncover what killed her friend as well as other miners on Kire Mountain, she loses her reputation and her relationship. Then one day she finds a half-drowned white woman in a dirty mine slough, and rescues her because she feels it’s the right thing to do, but also because she feels it may help her in some way. The woman calls herself Motheater, and says she’s a witch, and Bennie feels drawn to this mysterious woman.
This was such a delightful read! I fell in love with the characters. It’s diverse, and deals with important themes like what we’re doing to the planet we live on. I’m so happy I got to this gem!
