Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee
4.0
adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

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!
