i love everything about this. the characters all feel so real, and i love that we’re just immediately immersed in tace’s everyday life without excessive explanation/info dumping about the culture, community, etc. i love the amount of extended family shown, and the cousin love!! as a polynesian from nz, my own family tree is enormous, and my cousins are some of my best friends. the otherworldly element is done so well too, especially considering the author switched things up to avoid outsiders figuring it out. eerie and right into frightening, i enjoyed that aspect a lot. also the ending! very good, 10/10
