gwentolios 's review for:

The Deep by Rivers Solomon
5.0

I can already tell I'll want to reread it in about a year. There's a lot to unpack here, and I think as I learn more I'll come at it from a different angle each time. I found the mythos fasinating, and the discussions about how individuals and societies relate to history something that often made me slow down my reading so I could absorb it more.

Also adding to my ace shelf because two of the characters, once they started talking about relationships, felt really demi to me. And, honestly, I don't think there's a single straight romantic relationship in this story and that's amazing.
