I really love The Wayward Children series (which may sound like it’s for children - it is maybe YAish - but to be to be clear many of the stories in the series have some particularly adult themes). I really liked this little world although I don’t know that this was the most poignant of the books in the series. I do believe the general moral was “destiny is a scam and don’t be an asshole” which is definitely a moral I can get behind.
