Book review: Smothermoss by Alisa Alering
![Cover of Smothermoss by Alisa Alering, featuring symmetrical cutouts of ferns, yellow eyes weeping red tears, and blue foxes, butterflies, birds, and rabbits.](https://i0.wp.com/skiffyandfanty.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Smothermoss.png?fit=255%2C394&ssl=1)
Smothermoss is entrancingly immersive, with entirely evocative language, fascinating fantastic elements, exciting action, and two very vividly drawn protagonists, sisters who have little in common and feel a lot of friction but eventually come together, with a bit of supernatural succor, to face a fearsome foe.
