Don’t read the inside jacket or the book’s description on here if you don’t want spoilers! The representation in this book was great, though the art wasn’t really my style. The best part was the epilogue.
The creator’s note explained why there were some things left unexplained (like how Billie Mae harnessed the lightning power), but it didn’t make sense to me that Luella got her powers back in the end and then didn’t use them?

This was so beautiful and I want more stories in this world!! The one complaint I have is that the little girls didn't get much character development. But it was so fun to read and the art is amazing. The author clearly did a lot of research and takes diversity in a variety of forms seriously.
