Crystal Eaters by Shane Jones
4.0
I like Shane Jones' books. They're weird and visual and surreal and they don't quite tell you everything that's going on. Remy (the main character) and her family are overshadowed by grief and death, while their village is being consumed by either the nearby city or the sun. Everybody wants the crystals that the village mines, but for very disparate reasons.
About two thirds of the way through the book is the line "As a child what you see is creation. As an adult what you see is destruction." Remy's evolution from one side of that quotation to the other is really well done.
