I loved this book so much. Really lovely exploration of what it means to be human and how to survive and accept a present that was chosen by others in your past.
Some content warnings are probably needed for mistreatment of children, but the subject matter was handled so thoughtfully and delicately I was very impressed. I read the previous book in this series and wasn’t terribly impressed with it (though I loved Chambers’ other work, the Monk and Robot duology). But I think she really found her footing with this one.
