    The characters' repressions (yet desire to speak and do more) left me feeling deeply moved. Lai paints the world and her characters so beautifully. Wonderful.

    Fantastical, ambitious, and exciting, with a strong emotional core. Avery is such a perfect portrayal of an emotionally repressed father.
