A River from the Sky

Wow, as usual, Ai Jiang delivers a beautifully written book with multiple layers that I want to read over and over. Although this is a short novella, there is so much going on. I really enjoyed diving into Lufeng's sister's POV more in this book. I found her really interesting, especially as she wrestled with how to save her people and home without losing herself and becoming like those she's fighting. These are questions we must ask ourselves all the time when we engage in social justice. Ultimately, I always wish I could spend more time in Ai's worlds. She has such a rich imagination and describes them with such lyrical beauty. A bittersweet conclusion to the Natural Engines duology.
