Rick Osborne reviewed Sierra City by Gerri Hill
Decent, if speedy, story about recovering from repressed trauma
4¼⭐️/5
Reading through Gerri Hill’s books always makes me appreciate how quickly an author can move when they really choose to. Hill always feels to me like the elite 15K runner: graceful, spare, and astonishingly fast while also covering exactly the ground needed.
This isn’t the lightest of stories, but even at its relatively short runtime you still get interesting, 3D characters, real-world struggles, and a satisfying resolution. (Along with an epilogue which explicitly spells out the head canon you had already worked out.)
