- I was a big fan of LaPointe’s previous book, RED PAINT, and THUNDER SONG is even better.
- LaPointe blends her personal story with larger observations of culture in a way that make the essays unmistakably hers: she has such a unique voice and strong point of view.
- As the book progresses the essays begin to show how each topic is deeply connected to the others in a way that can’t be untangled from the initial colonization of this country.

- Is there any greater joy than a tightly written, deeply satisfying story? LOST ARK DREAMING gives us that: a fully realized world and complex characters in under 200 pages.
- I loved this blend of sci-fi and fantasy. It’s WOOL x THE DEEP, with heartbreaking individual stories and heart-pounding action.
- It’s hard to discuss much of this book without giving away the plot twist, given that the book is so short. I’ll just say that it didn’t go the direction I thought it would and I loved that. Please read this book!
