“Don’t make your life about the loss. Make it about the love” -Bree’s Dad pg. 386
Ties fantasy to reality with parallel magic systems that show the difference of colonizers & colonized people who borrow, not take and hold the earth, magic. Who celebrate ancestors in reverence not greed. Beautifully told, doesn’t shy away from the hard histories. Shows & explains Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder. As well as the intricacies of shared grief, moving with and through grief, and losing & finding self while grieving. Not too predictable. Could be gayer.
