Maybe I can attribute this to the book being hyped up by others, but it was kind of a let-down. I expected more substance or more plot. The ending felt like the easy way out. I thought Yetu and Oori were going to be together, but Oori being able to physically change so drastically was unbelievable.

Casual writing with additional normalized queer flex, but fundamental is a fascinating concept recall from time to time.
The story addresses the severe emotional trauma associated with keeping alive the memories of the past atrocities and horrors suffered by your people, and yet also the great importance it holds for the collective community, to have a sense of self and origin, to continue to keep the painful knowledge alive
