A rather "dull" and culturally over-dense book about "bridge-building" that I found just utterly delightful and quite unputdownable.
The elves, the goblins, the steampunk--all distractions to give the wonderful character of Maia time to grow, and time for the reader to grow to care about him. By the time you realize those fantastical trappings are largely irrelevant, you just don't care.
Next up: Kitschies short-listed SF,
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by newcomer Becky Chambers.
