What a lovely continuation of the first novella. The pacing was much better in this one, in that it doesn't span the length of several decades, but focuses on several days. The shift from Akeha to Mokoya had be apprehensive initially, but watching her development, from processing her daughter's death to learning to trust and love a stranger again, was exactly what the narrative needed. Also yay for a non-binary character who is juggling a chronic illness *chef kiss* just a delight to read. Can't wait to dive into more of this series.
