I really liked this one- it was a breath of fresh air after reading my last read. This is what I wanted A Scatter of Light to be. It had very similar themes, but was set in the late 70s. I loved the employment of the art and community around the plot. I also thought the found family aspect of this one was really great. It wasn't a masterpiece to me, but I really liked it. 4.5
