Each Of Us A Desert by Mark Oshiro
4.0
dark emotional slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A challenging read focusing on trauma both shared and private. Those themes seem to be a specialty of this author considering Anger is a Gift. I liked a lot of the world building and I thought the plot tied up well. I thought there were times when things could have been explained but I was alright with most of the way the story went. I thought it was about fifty to sixty pages longer than it should have been. It feels like the "ending" arrives multiple times before the actual end arrives.
