Several days after gorging on this book and I'm still thinking about it. Partially because I really should've reread or at least done a Wikipedia deep dive on the events of the previous books and lore of the world. I loved the little domestic world, the relationships between characters (especially Camilla and Palamedes.... Whew!), Nona as a character. This book made me deeply fond of and emotional about a character named Hot Sauce. And the experience to read between the lines and know what's going on when the narrator, Nona, doesn't, would've been very delicious had I remembered more about the previous books lol. I loved it and love this series.

A really comprehensive history of migration and US policy on immigration spanning the 70s to 2023. While I vaguely knew that US interventionist policy in Central America contributed to the migration crisis, I had no idea of the details or scale. It was sometimes hard for me to keep straight the developments and policy in the US side of things, but largely because US administrations kept backtrackingand reinstating and changing processes, making it impossible to follow. This book has both a policy element and a very human element.
This is less a "solutions" book and more of a "wow, we fucked up SO big in so many ways" book. Infuriating. Difficult to read. And really well done.

Fun and fluffy but eventually kind of repetitive.
