Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

5.0

this book was such a quick and delightful read! every time i was about to mark the page and shut it, my eyes would keep reading even as i was trying to close the book. amazing amazing amazing book with a queer protagonist that isn’t A Queer Protaginist; jess felt very authentic without feeling like a diversity plant. loved the descriptions of the gods and the gorgeous depictions of everyday Penang. this is my second zen cho book and definitely my favorite of the two, but her skill with characters, emotion, and magic even in the everyday shines in both books. now to read the sorcerer to the crown sequel!
