The writing was beautiful. I always enjoy reading the world building that the author weaves. This short story is a prequel to another book. While you don’t have to read the other book, I feel like my experience would be enhanced by understanding where the story eventually goes. The themes about trauma, impacting your community, and embracing being different is powerful. What kept it from being a 5⭐️ is the ending felt rushed to me, however, I am intrigued enough to read book 2.
