Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to like this book, but I was bored and just couldn't stay focused on it. I loved the symbolism it brought in and the journey of self-discovery the character went on, but it wasn't enough to make me enjoy the story.

Absolutely loved this little book. I really want to start the next one, but I need to get to bed so I‘m ready for #IBD tomorrow!

Starting this tonight

Everything that Littens have said about this book is true! I need more of Greta and Valdin…and Xabi and Linsh and everybody in this splendid book. 💜

There's a dream-like quality to this book and its prose that was just breathtaking, and also quite unsettling at many points. I think Link is really good, too, at writing young people in a way that feels alive and real. Would love to talk in depth about this book with someone smarter than me.

I actually think this was the best in the series. Deeper themes, grief, getting more into the characters‘ past, present, and future. Nicely done.

I really enjoyed this! #readyourkindle @CBee

I read Imbler‘s blend of memoir & science journalism slowly, & I think that‘s exactly right. Their essays are beautiful, aching, & hopeful; informative, uncomfortable, & probing. They write through their questions & don‘t settle for easy answers or metaphors.

Favorite essays: “Pure Life”, “Beware the Sand Striker”, & “We Swarm.” They‘re about: the yeti crab, queer joy, & safe spaces; sexual abuse & predation; salps & being buoyed by community.
