stunning. this series is important, relevant to our times, beautifully written and full of black girl magic. the kind of book that gets better, not boring, with rereading.

NAOMI NOVIK HOW COULD YOU!?!?!?

It's rare when a book makes me actually physically react. I cried, I was so tense I was shaking at the end. A delightfully truly f'd up masterpiece.

this was well done for what it is, and also so utterly fucked up that i really struggled to get through it.

an absolutely fantastic look at the story behind pluto losing its planetary status. great insights into the scientific community, as well as touching moments about mike brown's family and daughter. simply written, but funny and smart at the same time.
