I finished this several days ago and I'm still thinking about it. My heart is still in the desert with Xo and Emilia, thinking about all the layers of this intricately built queer Latinx fantasy world. It's a gorgeous, deftly written lyric of a book, at times so intense I had to take breaks from it. Another top tier novel from Mark Oshiro, and I can't wait to read their next book, whenever that comes out and whatever that may be.

this book was beautiful, very unique. I loved how it was addressed to solis (the sun), the religious undertones, the journey of self-discovery. character development was great too. reading the acknowledgements though - that was TOUGH.
