Why aren't more folks talking about this book? I am several years behind, but once I picked it up. I could not put it down. Laurie Forest's world and character building are glorious.
The commentary on religious zealots and government policy is front and center in this adventure that leads to rebellion. Other themes include racism with supremacy, misogyny, and sexuality. Forest's storytelling combines all these through the lens of discovery for Elloren, her siblings, and friends.
