A not too fantasy fantasy adventure novel. I enjoyed the book. I savored and wanted to continue reading each page! The development we see in Cassiopea is a steady stream of working through her beliefs her family tried to conform her into. She struggles throughout the book into a world unknown and the safeness of the uncomfortableness in the home with her mother and grandfather hold. Hun-kamé is a god who must learn to unlearn his beliefs he was brought in as well. Their adventure together forces them to grow into a new perspective that will create a better path for them both.
Graphic: Sexism, Racial slurs, and Suicide
