One of the most beautifully written love stories I’ve ever read. A fantastic queer representation set in a dense, lush world. The writing style is so unique and serves to add such depth to this story. A tale of lineage, familial threads, the complexity and interconnectedness of nature, and of pure, raw love. Expertly executed, this book shouldn’t be missed by both fans of the genre and any other experienced readers looking for a book that will make them FEEL again.
