Yeah, I get this with Heart of Winter - which granted, is set in Scotland, so a little different. But people are fine with gods, fae and magic, but gods forbid the heroine should want some agency and autonomyโ€ฆ

Patient 2 - โ€œI have severe chronic pain impacting my ability to sleep and function. My quality of life is very low.โ€ Dr - โ€œhmmm no painkillers for you, how about some CBT to change how you think about being in pain?โ€ Guess the difference?

Patient 1 - โ€œI jarred my back jumping on a trampoline because I forgot Iโ€™m middle-agedโ€ Dr - โ€œoh how terrible for you, please take this prescription for 3 different painkillers and controlled medications.โ€

The Green Man's Quarry ebook is a UK Kindle offer this month. But what's that I hear someone* say? it's the sixth book of a series, which is great for established fans, but what about other readers? So here's an introduction to these stories from the start, added to day by day. * who is me btw

Cover art shows a black panther in woodland at night. He's looking straight at you with golden eyes. His mouth is half open, showing lethally sharp white fangs. 

Reviewers quotes read: 
โ€œSurprising and really opens up the scale compared to the earlier tales โ€ฆ Itโ€™s a great place for new readers to test themselvesโ€
Runalongtheshelves.net blog 

โ€œanother story full of adventure and incident in this superb series. Very highly recommended for fans of fantasy in a contemporary setting filled with creatures from British folkloreโ€
Brainfluff

โ€œโ€ฆ how rich and complex McKenna's world is. Actions have consequences and unintended ripples that threaten secrets and long established status quo.โ€
The Middle Shelf 

โ€œDan Mackmain is a fascinating character in his own right, but heโ€™s only half the story: the other half being the depths of British folkloreโ€ฆโ€
