clover
realistic, in a way that extends to the beauty of healing and hope. helped me get out of my head.
more an opposition to norms and conformity than commentary on other being neurodivergent imo
fast and fun read but left me wanting something more. very accurate portrait of how living as a queer, low income, bipoc person affects you and how all those things are inherently intertwined in a way few who haven't lived it can understand
everything kafka on the shore wishes it was
in all seriousness, it stands on its own as a beautiful reflection on how we process life
Still not sure how I feel about the ending, but everything else was incredibly written and resonated with me greatly
one day i will read this book and it will absolutely break me.
in the meantime i'm thankful everyday, that day has not come yet.
i mean this is the truth of Cambodian Americans isn't it? we are just people living, defined yet not defined by our history.
thank you Anthony So for showing me what fiction that represents me can look like
one of my favorite universes of all time.
the world is just so rich and interesting, the power system is infinitely flexible and intriguing, and the creativity and power scaling is off the charts.
but all that aside, there's a level of humanity and hope at the core of the story that's just beautiful.
it's long, and the nature of its conception means it's not the most fluidly written thing, which are really the only things keeping me from a perfect rating.
genuinely made me remember why i love action/superhero stories though, and definitely worth the read.
