What a fabulously rendered world! Realistic enough so you experience the grit of the dust bowl and magical enough that you are charmed by its possibilities.

Najiyah’s Quotes

“Maybe losing your soul isn’t the right way to describe it,” Turtle said. “Maybe it’s more like … the more you use your power for bad things, the more you feel like you’re entitled to use your power for anything. It makes it harder to go back — only forward into more bad things.”
― Tui T. Sutherland, Talons of Power
