Aliette de Bodard's Fireheart Tiger
I wanted to read this because I’ve heard a lot of good things about the author, and the blurb compares this to Howl's Moving Castle, which is the sort of story I’m always in the mood for! But the only similarity is a fire spirit; this book doesn't have any sort of humor at all. This is also the sort of novella that needs more room to breathe and more space for character development; a few scenes had me interested in the main romance, but it jumped back and forth with another love interest, and then the conclusion was very quick. Maybe I should take a break from novellas, since they so often aren’t quite enough for me? B.
