I almost put this book back after the first few difficult chapters. I dislike reading about children's mistreatment and found the set up quite traumatic. I'd anticipated reading something a bit more relaxing and restorative. Instead, I mostly felt tense and like I had to push through. Glad I did tho, because the second half of the book got weird and creative. Indigenous Wakanda.
