In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

this was a really good, well-contained novel with strong biological/climate-dystopia bones and pliable coming-of-age flesh. i loved nhung‘s narrative voice and found their role in the story and among their family/friends very compelling. plus the descriptions were VERY eerie and quite gross. my only issue was the YA-ness of parts of the dialogue, but otherwise a solid 4.5/5.

nobody look at me nobody even MOVE. i am so glad that i get to be alive at the same time as these books. i described the series to my friends as the locked tomb written for dnd nerds and i‘m pretty happy with that comparison. csorwe and shuthmili made me weep at different points throughout the book. it‘s all about devotion, isn‘t it?
there is a LOT that happens in this book and AK Larkwood absolutely sticks the landing. the characters are phenomenal and the writing is perfectly balanced between heartbreak and flawless comedic timing. i can‘t explain how much i loved this book. i had to read it slowly in small bits otherwise i‘d feel like i was missing things. i want to peel my skin off and scream, but in a joyful way that is infused with grief, which is everything i want in a book.
