Stuart Ullman

I just reviewed The Téuta's Child by S. G. Ullman. #TheTéutasChild #NetGalley netgalley.com/book/268424/re…

•6200 BC: I see one thing, but I see it without eyes: angry gods made me blind. My othersight frightens the village shaman, though. He says that because I live the gods make catastrophes around us. Maybe he’s right. But I don’t want to be killed today. #PitMad #HF #MR

•6200 BC: Kaikos only wants safety and acceptance. But she is the cause of the gods’ anger and the cooling earth: why else would the child have been born blind? Acceptance? Impossible. And if she wants safety, she must flee alone into the mountains. #PitMad #HF #MR

•8200 BC: She had an advantage under the mountain. She had been blind from birth, so being lost in the darkness in a maze of caves was no different to her than being lost anywhere else. To the men hunting her the blackness was terrifying. But lost is lost. #PitMad #HF #MR
