I'm currently doing a lot of reading of books by Indigenous, Black, and other writers of colour, especially in sci-fi or fantasy or futurism, etc. Mainly fiction, but some non-fiction sprinkled here and there as well. I teach philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada. she/her/hers

Tricksters and witches and other wondrous characters abound. I found the ending chapter a bit of a letdown, though--I would have preferred it if Robinson had actually written a chapter on those elements rather than just listing them quickly. This is a small thing, though; generally I loved the book!

We really got into the story and the characters, and had tears in our eyes at some points. Didn't want it to end!
