Wow. What a book. Stunned and grateful. Thank you, @aijiang.bsky.social for your art and for sharing it. Fuller thoughts here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #BookSky

I loved this so much and am *thrilled* that I have the sequel in hand for tomorrow. ❤️ Here are my thoughts, as best I could express them! Get this, #BookSky! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I have been so excited for this one! I have not stopped thinking about the story since I finished A Palace Near the Wind! Such a different story and characters, I feel as though every page is a wonderful surprise. 📚💙📚💙

Linghun by Ai Jiang 4.22.26 The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir 5.4.26 You, Me, and Ulysses S. Grant by Brad Neely 5.8.26 Walking Practice by Dolki Min 5.11.26

Grahh, just finished this duology last night and it's SO GOOD!! This is the kind of fantasy that captures my imagination and its story is so timely. I love Canadian SFF! 😆 #booksky #sff

Reading A Palace Near the Wind in a thunderstorm in the backyard and feeling very happy!

I think some stories just need to be read, that as a reviewer my opinion will simply fall short of describing what an important piece of literature a story truly is. @aijiang.bsky.social A River From the Sky and truly the series as a whole is one of them. #booksky 📚💙 📚🪐

Something I’ve struggled with growing up is self esteem, so I try to hold onto the saying “If you’re going to do something, do it with confidence.” It’s been a work in progress with varying degrees of success. 🥹
