Exceptional book. I really appreciate that Vowel took the time to write sort of explanations for her stories as well as a very informative prelude. it was the perfect amount of information that let me hear native voices while also having to do my own research and educate myself. this was a really profound and nuanced insight into indigenous futurism and intersectionality in native communities. id recommend this book to anyone (required reading) but especially to those looking for speculative stories and to diversify their reads.
