review:
'The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe' by Kij Johnson is the story of a lost student and the teacher sent to find her.

When one of Professor Vellitt Boe's student elopes with someone from the waking world, Vellitt is sent from the Ulthar Women's College to find her. Her journey will take her across lands familiar and strange in the company of strange companions.

This felt like a weird travelogue and I loved the lands and descriptions. In reality, it's a redemption of a similar story by H.P. Lovecraft. I loved this unusual story and it's compelling main character.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Macmillan-Tor/Forge and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
