Class solidarity, disability justice (WITH queer representation!) fantasy YA novel?? Maybe one of the best, most original fantasy novels I’ve ever read. This is my first time reading a book by Jordan Ifueko and I know I will be picking up her other works too. Her writing style is beautiful and so wonderfully immersive. 

There are some heavy emotional and pretty political themes in this book. Sometimes in YA, I find authors tend to dumb those themes down for a younger audience. Ifueko doesn’t do that here. She’s clear, concise, and no nonsense in her storytelling. 

The Amenities are so lovely and I was rooting for them to succeed. Climber was my favorite character though, I’m so sorry. 🦎
