I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. Ms. Jemison writes she's one of her magical characters. Wowwowow.

There are some very heavy parts to this book, but they add to the story in such a way I don't think it would be possible to omit them in any way. There is a transperson in the book, but they do not experience, at least not that is mentioned in major detail, dysmorphia. There is a brief mention of transphobia when

their parents quietly disown them, only in part because they are transgender, not the primary reason.
