a little too heavy on the morals for my liking

Such an important topic, and well handled. Wish the artwork was more evocative, but it's still a solid book. 

Solid as far as it goes, but that isn't super far. 

A bit long, but such a good read. Loved it

such a sweet story of elders celebrating new generations

The second half of this story is wonderful. Creepy, based in real cultural practices, some touching connective family moments, great suspense, it's got everything. Why did I have to wait 150 pages before it got good? I wish the first half of this story were cut down to one chapter and then we got into the good stuff right away.
