The author is truly excellent at weaving magical realism into her worlds in the most natural of ways and it's creative, so I enjoyed it. That said, I wasn't really into the plot of this and it was a bit too scattered for me even to summarize what it really was. But I tend to like more plot-based fiction in general. As someone who identifies in the AAPI community this did have some very quotable moments, but I wanted it to be more in some way. I did feel the same way about Chosen and the Beautiful,  so maybe the ambiguity is her thing.
