Extremely lyrical and so breathtaking! I love Emezi's writing style. It's also very interesting to read their debut after reading their recent releases; I can see the growth and inklings of greatness that led to their other novels. This was a great debut and I'm very excited to read more of Emezi's work in the future.

There were times this was weird and confusing, but overall I liked the messages of learning who you are. It was written extremely well, and I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of their work.
