    Enjoyment: 3.5Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.0Plot: 3.5

    beginning to think baldwin doesn’t care at all for neat endings, but that only adds to the lingering emotion of his stories. the family dynamics around the couple feel painfully real. and the plot feels desperate and hopeless as he intended, but he does an amazing job getting us invested in the endless love/tenderness tish and fonny have for each other 💔

    luan and zomi’s mentor/student dynamic is so wholesome and pure. i sure hope nothing bad happened in their relationship on the way to zomi taking the grand exam 🤧

    “true courage is to insist on seeing when all around you is darkness.”

    aki’s retelling of the fable about the pantheon finding the calendrical dozen is so creative and fun. ken liu’s imagination doesn’t seem to have a limit, i’m loving every bit of the book and new lore so far ❤️
