Story5 out of 5 stars 9
Eighteen-year-old Sparrow can’t remember a time when she wasn’t. And neither can her mother—or the trolls, imps, gnomes, and faeries who all live in the Glade and call it home. Though Sparrow’s weak heart keeps her wheelchair bound, she and her mother have dedicated their lives to protecting the Glade, especially from the worst bogeyman of them all: the skin-stealing, poison-ingesting witch called Black Annis.

I found out about this book by meeting the author, and her service dog Grimm, in person at the Salt Lake City FanX. I said I'd be getting it as soon as it was available on Audible and it's actually what I asked for for my birthday.
This book didn't disappoint. It was so nice being able to a character in a fictional world struggle with some of my daily realities. So often books gloss over any acknowledgment that the main character could be disabled. The side character, sure, but not the main person going on an adventure, definitely not the hero.
It's refreshing. I'm definitely looking forward for the next book!
