An absolutely incredible tale of pain, hope, and joy in the darkest of times. Salama is a poignant and hopeful character and the writing breathes in life and color to a heartbreaking story. I loved the Studio Ghibli references, especially Castle in the Sky, and all of the references here made my heart so full. So so incredible
