“Now the anger is gone, and I stay here. My young Master, what does “Independence” mean?”
There’s no world-building here, every word is meticulously selected to convey a deeper message. We hear from a veteran soldier turned cook who unwittingly laments on the false promises of communal elevation and development that accompanied independence. Only to be met with superficial gestures of improvement.

I will give The Late Bud - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 sooo close to 5 stars. As a fellow labelled as lazy child for wanting to play this was real. AAA does motherhood and parent/child relationships so well. This is definitely one I wish I could continue to follow.

You can’t force a leopard to change its spots, Two Sisters was a lighter, even comedic entry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Gift from Somewhere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a surprise gem and what a direct contrast to No Sweetness Here. As one child dies unexpectedly, one lives unexpectedly. AAA is masterful, truly. Motherhood is such a prevailing theme that she covers so well.

No Sweetness Here, drilled two large holes in my heart and tugged at its strings.
