We were hungry.
That cliffhanger should be illegal!!
No one remembers us. We're just bodies that survived & take up too much room where we don't belong.
Absolutely beautiful art. I wish I could have screenshot so many times, but I was reading on Hoopla.
"Someone who has traveled the stars shouldn't live so far from the sky."
Moving story. Great plot. I'm definitely more connected with this book & I understand more of what's happening.
"...We cannot allow...our hearts...to break us..."
Beautiful prose.
"Hope is a strange feeling, Tuya. Hope is frightening. What is hope, except the possibility of disappointment? & yet, I've learned that hope is just another kind of hunger. Hope is another kind of fuel. To hope...is to ask for a possibility, just a chance, at something better. The smallest, most fragile hope will keep a person fighting, no matter how impossible the odds."
I need more, now.
"'Dangerous people have to love. They have to love more than the rest of us. Or else terrible things will happen.' / 'Terrible things, huh? Love has never stopped that from happening.'"
Representation: disabled, amputee MC, multiple disabled characters, sapphic relationships, characters are a mix of various races, & human, part human, & non-human.
"Bye, Mister Monster! Enjoy your book!"
