I'll say my favorite element in this book I show Storytellers are important. It will always be important to know your family story. I was also very intrigued in this with the way it talked about gender. 

Great story over all. Give it a chance.

About colonialism and indigenous traditions, set in an apocalyptic dystopia. Queernormative and revolutionary with focus on found family.

I love all the concepts and ideas, but I just can't get on with the prose or audiobook narration.

DNF @ 39%

I truly wish that weren't the case.

This is very much a me problem.

I appreciated the diversity of gender identities and the indigenous culture highlighted in this sci fi novel of rebellion.
