I've been living under a rock for the past ten days (aka being on vacation and binge playing Hades 2) so I completely missed @myleejmiller.bsky.social's glowing review of my novella The Seventh Sister posted on SFF Insiders. Thanks again Mylee 💙
The Seventh Sister by Millie Abecassis — SFF Insiders
Abecassis’s work is outstanding in a way that skilled authors are outstanding: her writing pulls you in with intrigue, and you stay for her authorial voice.
