This book has everything! It's magical, weaving, and full of grief and yearning. It's gay, sexy, and deeply invested in sisterhood and family. This book is healing. 10/10 recommend 💫

ce_read's review against another edition

I wasn't connecting with the characters like I wanted to. Maybe if I was reading instead of listening to the book it would have hit different, but 1/3 of the way in and there has been almost no plot. So more of a slow, episodic, picture painting kind of story than a plot driven one
