I am obsessed with the way lightening was colored and the "making of" section at the end. I just with some parts of the ending were slightly longer.

Beautiful art and nuanced story, I love seeing fantasy that also is a critique of imperialism.
adventurous challenging emotional fast-paced

Firstly, this is such a beautifully drawn book, the art and design alone is reason enough to read this book. The story itself is magnetic and energetic and so absorbing, the characters are complex and lovable. I can imagine this book being a great resource or starting point for discussing indigenous sovereignty as well as the Arab-Israeli conflict through a fantasy lens.
Recommend for teens and up!
