Happy Pub Day to this one. I had the pleasure to read and advance copy. Thank you Tor books for it.

5 plus

A story of grief, loss, stages, Charon and Orpheis, siblings love, of trusting dogs/ guardians... and if you ever lived in Chicago for more than one year and experienced the despair of Winter, The Hope blooming in Spring, the fear, the hate, the violence, the pain, the spunds, the trash, the music, the screams, the orchestras a d festivals, the sirens.... the sunshine that brings people and dogs out to the park, to the beach, to the rooftops, fast food, and riverwalks, then you'll know this is THE book that hokages it all.

Thank you, author, for making me love this city a little more, pulling it away from the shadows and hopelessness that make me hate it (most of the year). There must be more than twenty amazing and recognizable references (lost the count... but that one abrupt curve in the Red Line at Sheridan I know intimately well). Thank you for this amazing story.

This is a perfect read if you love Greek Mythology, contemporary cities, stages of grief stories, The Whispering Door, Jewish-inspired stories, Music, Ghibli...
