I’m honestly not sure where my love for Light From Uncommon Stars begins, but as a hobbyist musician for most of my life, probably safe to say it started with the heartfelt way music and its importance is portrayed in this book. I don’t think I’ve seen a better representation of the transcendence of music and the way it impacts a musician and connects us to other living things.
The trans representation in the book is impeccable. Major CW for realistic portrayals of the dangers of being trans, but trans joy is also depicted so, so well.
It’s otherwise really difficult to describe this book. It was unexpected and a little weird - but really beautifully weird! Demons and humans and intergalactic refugees and music and queer rep and badass AAPI women and donuts all rolled up into one story.

I would have given a higher rating if it was a little smoother in the POV and character development, but I think some of the beauty in the book outshines that. Ending on a 3 star.
