Gentle but Important

Revisado: 03-31-25

without getting gory or graphic, this novel uses a science fiction setting to explore identity and gender. highly recommend.

cozy, original and healing

Revisado: 01-14-25

it was comfortable without being cliche, it explored multiple themes and a gentle way, including multiple ways that we can all find ourselves isolated or othered. an inclusive book that touches on a lot of the difficulties making connections, and the valuable treasure they are once made

this book is somehow comfortable yet brand new

Revisado: 03-29-24

a cozy book with romantic overtones, but also about Adventure and Independence. not easily predictable, and with characters that are unique, but feel safe and lovable.

predictable but enjoyable

solid story! It's a genre that can be overdone sometimes, and while I didn't find it to be terribly original, it was a solid story that I truly enjoyed.

Good story, weird incestuous lesbianism

Revisado: 08-08-21

Loved the story, loved the twists, loved the representation of diverse women. didn't like that once again the weird sister/lesbian dynamic had to be brought into it. So many weird levels of that kind of thing, and it's a trope I'm really super 100% over. as an LGBTQ+ lady myself, I'd like to see some better representation.

that said though, the story did have some really good twists and I enjoyed the depth of the plot.

one of the most impressive books I've read

Revisado: 12-14-20

perhaps the only thing that exceeded the quality of this book was the finesse of the voice actor

refreshing and straightforward

Revisado: 05-27-20

This is not a spiritual exploration, but a cultural adventure and reflection on mortality.I especially appreciated the discussion of how silent American culture is about the death of children and infants, how such pain is considered unsightly and inconvenient, or overly dramatic. this is explored in the section about Mexico, and it left me in a very vulnerable place. I think this is an excellent book to read if you yourself are seeking a place to start healing.

original but anti-climactic ending

Revisado: 11-06-19

I will do my best to avoid spoilers, but I will simply say that for all of the magical buildup that occurs in the first part of the book, the wrap up feels sudden and anticlimactic. after all of the ominous happenings and implications, all of the really spooky stuff has already happened in the storyline and the resolution comes far too easily.The author does leave some mystery at the end so I'm assuming they're either is or will be a sequel but I wasn't particularly driven to find it. I think I'd rather stick to Darcy Coates. also as dated, wall the narrator's voice is gorgeous, she spends way too much time in a weepy demeanor and it becomes very tiring.

always a fun twist with Coates!

Revisado: 06-05-19

I'm a long-time time Supernatural Thriller fan, and this is my second books by Darcy Coates. Once again I was delightfully surprised :-) performance was unimpressive, and the narrator had difficulty maintaining accents. however, the story stands on its own. Enjoy!

an interesting and stimulating introduction

Revisado: 03-06-19

this informative book truly encourages self-reflection and culturally atypical self-awareness. I strongly recommend this to basically everyone
