Sapphic found family scifi with horror overtones

I found nothing to dislike about this book aside from one thing: I'd have liked to explore more about the main character's love interest's background. This is eminently forgiveable though. The writing is rich and lyrical and the world Solomon creates is recognizable and believable even as she populates it with fantastical creatures. Even as the main character becomes one of those creatures.
