Blurb: In the ice, east of the Black Rock, there is a hole into which broken children are thrown. On Abeth, the vastness of the ice holds no room for individuals. Survival together is barely possible. No one survives alone. To resist the cold, to endure the months of night when even the air itself begins to freeze, requires a special breed. Variation is dangerous, difference is fatal...and Yaz is not the same. Yaz is torn from the only life she's ever known, away from her family, from the boy she thought she would spend her days with, and has to carve out a new path for herself in a world whose existence she never suspected - a world full of difference and mystery and danger. Yaz learns that Abeth is older and stranger than she had ever imagined, that her weaknesses are another kind of strength...and to challenge the cruel arithmetic of survival that has always governed her people. Only when it's darkest can you see the stars.
this clip has me in hysterics. Tupp going “YOYOYOYOYOYO WAITWAITWAIT I CANT CLIMB THAT FAST” and Rapp just GLIDING effortlessly up the cliff is SENDING ME
I hate when people criticize magical girl anime for having long transformation scenes. "so the enemies just wait for them?" have you ever considered that something can be beautiful without needing to serve a purpose or make sense in a literal scenario 💔
