“They were eclipsing planets, lining up in orbit for just a breath before the death of their star, two whales crossing paths in the desolate vastness of the ocean”

This was such a lush fantasy with vietnamese inspiration book. I really enjoyed reading from the eyes of Nhika how the Theumas view her and her heartsoothing abilities. (This book actually dabble into themes such as classism, generational trauma, genocide, and passing down of culture and storytelling). And because thr story is from Nhika’s POV i trusted NO ONE, i was terrified any of them could turn against her at any point, making this very good and intense read.

spoiler ish:
THE ENDING OMG, I HAD A SPLIT SEC THOUGHT OF “WHAT IF” BUT THEN I WAS LIKE NAHHHH NO WAY ABSOLUTELY NO WAYYY. I NEED THE SECOND BOOK IMMEDIATELY (kochin its all you now)
