Sword & Spore by Dominica Phetteplace
3.0

Fast paced, imaginative, and thoughtful, but what was with all those little references to Trump (orange skin powder, infrastructure week, maybe the masking stuff)? Does that make the goddess Hilary Clinton? Awful. The more it was its own thing, the better it was. I really liked the owl stuff. And the wizard. The fantasy ecology was great, and prose was stylish and often beautiful.

The author mentions the poem Revolt of the Turtles by Stephen Dunn. It's quite good and you can read it here: https://www.loc.gov/programs/poetry-and-literature/poet-laureate/poet-laureate-projects/poetry-180/all-poems/item/poetry-180-074/the-revolt-of-the-turtles/
