this was fantastic!
it’s was a magical historical fiction with so much diversity in realistic ways - it was beautifully done!
i do wish the magic itself would have been a bit better explained but at the same time that wasn’t the focus of the story but rather that everyone white tried to control aspects of culture that didn’t fit into their specific measurements and knowledge.
it was clearly a commentary on real historic events and what diverse people have to go through simple to have even just a small amount of rights that white peoples take for granted.
but it also was very much a story about love and becoming yourself and coming i to yourself.
again - beautifully done!
a great book for all ages middle grade upwards!
