Fire Logic by Laurie J. Marks
4.0
Maybe even 4.5 stars. Well-written, well-constructed, the world building was so solid and carefully revealed, and the characters had a lot of life to them.
I dislike that one of the pairs we focused on was a 19 year old with someone probably 50 years old, but I also enjoyed the themes between the actual main romance on healing and self-discovery.
I also will complain, as an indigenous person, that the themes of "if you fight back, you eventually become the thing oppressing you" is a tired and obnoxious trope and while I understand the value of forgiveness, I am tired of fantasy works essentially implying fighting oppression it the same thing as actively oppressing others.
