A satisfying and puzzling dream-like fairytale

5 stars

This book felt like jumping into a raft on fast river knowing you'd be picked up and carried home at the end, but surprised over and over along the way.

It's a quick fairytale and a satisfying story, and while at first I didn't appreciate some of the strangeness of the world-making, by the end it sits right and will stay with me.

Ijeoma is gifted as combining personal stories with impactful, concise summaries of emotionally charged topics. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to take steps toward equality.
