Adding Machine and Last Exit to my read list immediately.
I suppose Wintersmith is indeed the story of a girl being stalked and the narrative going "you brought this upon yourself, you know," except the author is so hopping mad at how unfair it is? And gives her the tools to work her way out of it. For whatever reason, I somehow got it in my head that there's an extremely veiled metaphor for climate change tucked into that book also, though I don't know if that makes it better.
