"The Unbalancing" by R.B. Lemberg is absolutely phenomenal! When Ranra Kekeri steps into the role of starkeeper, she discovers that the star is restlessly sleeping and is causing the ferocious tremors the islands are experiencing, and they will only get worse. Erígra Lilún is a haunted poet who loves their solidarity. Literally, the ghost of their ancestor haunts them! Ranra and Lilún's paths meet, and things get HEAVY. The story was thoroughly exciting and enjoyable. I was consistently on the edge of my seat. I really wish our society was as accepting as the society of Gelle-Geu was. Polyamory and nobinary (ichidi) are of the norm, fully accepted and embraced. Same-sex couples and having more than two parents was ordinary. This is definitely a book I'll be reading again!!
