zoe_m's review against another edition
DNF pretty early on. The poems seemed a bit two-dimensional--lots of repeated symbolism and imagery. To be fair I'm in a colossal reading funk, but this did nothing to help.

To be honest I wasn’t enthralled with this book at the beginning, but the poems just get stronger throughout. By the end, I was in tears over how beautiful it is to embrace yourself as you are and to give yourself space and permission to just be. Nikita Gill is fantastic and though I’ve loved her more recent works even more than this one, Wild Embers has taken a place in my heart too.

Every time I read a volume of her poetry I think I have found my favorite and then I read the next one. But I did dog-ear nearly every other page in this book. The retelling of fairytales and the goddesses were particularly enjoyable. Alice in wonderland and Athena were my favorites.
I think k the only thing that sometimes fatigued me is the encouragement of a woman who has experienced trauma to give as good as she got. And I sometimes wish it was more of a refusal to perpetuate that abuse. A different force than becoming a war, an army, or a battlefield.
