It's good, definitely more slow burn and the Folklore element is very interesting.

I have 3 on the go
📘: You Will Not Kill Our Imagination by Saaed Teebi
📱: The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri
🎧: The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Canas

I did not have good time when I read it. It was such a interesting idea that fell so flat.

Thr Long Way From a Small Angry Planet and the rest of the Wayfarer series should have been number one.
How to Steal a Galaxy
Murderbot
Of Monsters and Mainframes
The Sea of Tranquility
Overgrowth.

I think I know what's going on now, I am about 50% of the way through now, so there is no something and then I will watch the House Salt stream when they read last year to hopefully make sense of somethings.

But if you are looking for Dystopian by Canadian and Indigenous authors I recommend Gutter Child by Jael Richardson and The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline instead.

Also glad I'm reading with my eyeballs instead of listening to the audiobook like the first book, because it really killed my full enjoyment of the story.
