Nanette reignites storytelling when magic and storytelling are forbidden while walking a dangerous line with her sister.
E.S. Barrison weaves a story of relationships in times of suppression of truth and how destructive state-sanctioned propaganda can be.
This story rang hard on familiar stories of real-world issues placed in a magical world, and the danger of being someone willing to go against the religious state; touching on trauma, police brutality, and the rising cost of medicine.

From Jacey's list on fantasy to bring magic to familiar worlds.
