Holy, holy crap. This is one of the best books I've read in a while. There are plot twists at every turn; Deonn never quite gives you what you expect. The whole book is written as a metaphor (or maybe a semifictional example) for heavy themes like grief, intergenerational trauma, and systemic racism, all of which are clearly well thought out and incorporated into the world-building and narrative. I love the characters so much and I want them to succeed with my whole heart.
