Y'all. I am so glad I read this novella. It was so amazing! I saw it recommended by saidbyjess (Jess) and bookslikewhoa (Mara) on YouTube and I am soooo glad that I picked it up.
The concept is so incredible. The writing is just so well done and really brings the concept to light. I can't even put into words how amazing it was. And it's a short read! Definitely recommend that more people read this.
It explores hate and racism but in a fantasy setting - with those elements at the core of explaining what's going on.
Definitely recommend. Check out trigger warnings though!
