— what do people in your universe do when reality starts springing leaks?
— i'm not sure. look at cat pictures until we feel better?


читати метакомікси про порятунок світу від передостаннього зла теж трооошечки допомагає.

одного дня головна героїня прокидається в антуражі готичного роману, дізнається, що в цих декораціях їй доведеться рятувати світ, — і розуміє, що все життя до цього готувалася. боротьба з міжпланетним (міжусесвітним?) злом, у якій готичні кліше стають безцінною зброєю, ensues.

A warm, happy blanket of a read - it feels like you are being hugged by all of your favorite romance, adventure, science fiction/fantasy, hero's quest tropes (but make it very funny). I love this as an adult, particularly as a woman who was very, very much like our heroine Haley, and would have fallen IN LOVE with this as a teenager. This was one I stretched out to savor and I very much hope that our author chooses to return to Willowweep Manor in any way they choose. Perhaps an archaeological site is plagued by a series of murders and all the culprits are aliens? A cruise ship haunted by the ghosts of elves and dwarves? This is a world that can interact with almost any literary genre and I hope Ms. Garrity just goes ham on all of it.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Willowweep Manor is a funny little tale that pokes at melodramatic story tropes and doesn’t take itself too seriously, reminding us that we are more than just our labels and that we can be whatever kind of hero we choose.

A strange mix of gothic romance, MCU, and Wizard of Oz featuring multi-dimensional vomit???
