4/5. A complex little jewel of a fantasy about a nonbinary neurodivergent poet who sees ghosts and an intense, outspoken woman who leads their people by virtue of being magically connected to a star. This is a book about leadership and consent and empathy and failure and doing the work you are suited to and a lot of other things touched lightly but complexly. A little bit Patricia McKillip and a little bit Frances Hardinge for adults and a whole lot its own, very unique thing.
Content notes: Recollection of parental emotional abuse.
