Such a beautiful work. Sci-fi steeped in Afro-Caribbean culture, history, and hope. The mixed Creole patois got into my head and made me feel I was living the story. Major TWs, go in prepared, but the resolutions are sensitive, nuanced, and satisfying - and dramatic in a way that fits the deep folkloric feel as well as the believably human complexity.
