- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.5
Really well done alternating POVs, each character had a unique voice, interests and what mattered to them in the story. I read this one quite slowly because there was always that looming feeling of dread ahead even when something magical and beautiful was happening in the plot. I feel like I learned some things about Hawai'i and modern Hawaiian culture. Some really beautiful language in here.
Moderate: Animal death, Death, Police brutality, and Classism
Minor: Drug use
