This book really surprised me in how gently it managed to deliver such a beautiful tale that’s heartfelt and important. It was speculative fiction with clever world-building but it was also so raw in its emotional matter-of-fact plot. Ultimately, the book doesn’t try to deus ex macchina - it gives you exactly what you asked for and I really appreciated a story that puts the journey before the destination.
