Within its boundaries, birds are outlawed and what was once a crater in Appalachia is now a tropical, glittering metropolis where Anna Armour is waiting." Examining the relationship of art to society, and blurring the lines between science and magic, Tenea Johnson's first book has first-class worldbuilding and intertwined narratives.
