This was a spectacular read. It was really interesting to read a book about characters that have telepathic experiences- but to have it described in a way of taking on and physically experiencing each others emotions. It resonated a lot with how I experience life. I also found the descriptions of the sensory experiences of the world really interesting and again something that I resonated with. I particularly loved the consistent use of Mavity rather than Gravity, and was interested to read in the acknowledgments that the book was based on, or drew heavily from, the colonisation of Hawaii and the Caribbean.
