Reread … listened this time … good audio. The truth of the Ogres‘ rule, where they came from … as investigated by the headman‘s son who is on the run from punishment for raising his hand to the landlord‘s ogre son.
Still 5 star.
I loved this 2023 nominee for the Hugo Best Novella award. It seems at first a fairy-tale-like fantasy novel but turns out to be quite different, as secrets about the world are slowly revealed to both the protagonist and reader. It's also told in an unusual second-person voice.
