Loved: the look into indigenous Hawaiian culture and mythology! Also, the queer rep, unexpected but loved that!

Didn’t love: maybe all the coverage of blood and periods, but that’s more a personal thing and my fault for not reading the synopsis all the way lol

To start, I didn’t realize this was a collection of short stories and not a novel — that’s on me. I don’t know that I’ve read many story collections where all were by the same author, so that was interesting. It became solely about the plot of each and not about adjusting to a different writing style or whatnot and so when I didn’t like a story, I knew exactly what it was about it. We start off with some menstrual cycle body horror and it just never really went far up for me from there.
