Another masterwork from Arkady Martine. I want to hang out with Mahit Dzmar and Three Seagrass all the time.

As good as its predecessor. The split into multiple POVs was done so well.

a geniuinely masterful sequel, even better than the first book, which is a high bar because the first book was an absolute miracle. i don't have words or thoughts, only adoration. i will read everything arkady martine ever writes with breathless enthusiasm and joy, because her Thoughts On Things are incredible
