A fascinating read brimming with Indigenous survivance. It feels like a beautiful marriage between The Handmaid's Tale and Parable of the Sower through a distinctly indigenous/mixed lens which as a mixed Boricua, really resonated. However, I did feel like the novel suffered from some pacing issues and I'm still chewing on the ending, which keeps it from being fully a five star read.
