I'm late to the party by 4 years, but I must say that this is incredible. A series of powerful stories, somewhat akin to those found in literature, that does not drag on and ends when they need to. The theme of witches, and their foreign yet grounded point of views that the work elaborated on must have not been easy to write, and even more so to deliver it to the readers beautifully.
Definitely one of the greats.
This title is a masterpiece in every aspect; from the topics of interest to the art itself, it embodies a work delving into human beliefs and spirituality, life, universe and the interconnectedness of everything that exists. I love how the author focuses on the beliefs of minor cultures, enabling readers to view the world in a different way in each story.
Each story focuses on particular women/girls (my favourite part), and along with the surreal, beautiful imagery, the author includes real world problems as well. Kuarupu does a particularly excellent job of highlighting threats faced by indigenous peoples around the world, like their dwellings and homes being destroyed in the face of modernisation and capitalism. There is also a subtle theme of the significance of environmental conservation running throughout all the chapters.
A thoughtful, imaginative and surreal journey into the depths of our beliefs and how connected we are to this earth. Although there were some things I disagreed with in this work, I'd rate this 10/10 for the beautiful art and wonderful presentation. Highly recommended.
