A Song for a New Day

Absolutely loved this book, the Nebula is well-deserved. I was admittedly hesitant at first, given that it starts out with a pandemic that seems to mirror recent events, and I was afraid it would be difficult to read in the way that Wanderes felt heavy. But it was not like that at all. This book is instead a declaration of love to live music, to community, and to finding your own path.

In other words, if this had been a movie, the body horror in the first act might have scared me off, and prevented me from seeing the beautiful road movie that makes up the second act, and the amazing and hopeful conclusion.
