Okay, first of all, I want to thank Iron Circus Comics for allowing me to read this book as an e-arc.
When I requested this book, I thought, "I don't know, this sounds fun." Then, when I read it, I thought, "Oh wow, this is great!"
I live in France, so even if I know some things, I don't know a lot about Indigenous people's lives. So I learned a lot. I liked all the stories, but obviously, I have my favorites: the horror one (I'm a big horror movie fan), and the one about the streamer who teaches language while playing Stardew Valley (it made me tear up a little bit).
I also really liked the different art styles and voices in the book.
So yes, interesting stories, queer stories, good characters, and good art styles.
Definitely a must-read!

Are they lovers?
... Worse
Author: They are fictional characters. Don't do this
You all: this is bad because this is a toxic relationship and the ending is bad
THAT'S LIKE THE WHOLE POINT

Gosh it was so bad.
- I love friends to lovers but we need build up and chemestry
- Val was the only good characters. And She's better than me because the wrap party? I would have been so mad
- Can't remember the name of the MC most of the time lol
- She needs to listen to people. She's so entitled
- Also stop w/ your het view of sex and viriginity
- People forgive her way too easily
- Felt like reading twitter discourse. Like who says "sapphic sex" and not gay sex
- Shes the kind of MC who says "I'm not in a straight/lesbian couple I'm bi"
- I wanted to slap her
- Unecessary acephobia.
- Sex scenes not even that good
Thanks for the arc tho I guess
