Histoire
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

Histoire
At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls—Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle—took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC.

Histoire
In 1345, China lies under harsh Mongol rule. For the starving peasants of the Central Plains, greatness is something found only in stories. When the Zhu family’s eighth-born son, Zhu Chongba, is given a fate of greatness, everyone is mystified as to how it will come to pass. The fate of nothingness received by the family’s clever and capable second daughter, on the other hand, is only as expected.

Description
Good Omens meets The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet in Ryka Aoki's Light from Uncommon Stars, a defiantly joyful adventure set in California's San Gabriel Valley, with cursed violins, Faustian bargains, and queer alien courtship over fresh-made donuts.
Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: To escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. She has already delivered six.
When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka's ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the curse lifting. She's found her final candidate.
But in a donut shop off a bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn't have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan's kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul's worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as vast as the California coastline.
As the lives of these three women become entangled by chance and fate, a story of magic, identity, curses, and hope begins, and a family worth crossing the universe for is found.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Spectacular!
This book is a triumph. It’s beautiful and touches both the deepest and darkest and most beautiful and loving parts of humanity. It’s a spectacular book crafted from pain and love. I highly recommend it.

All The Feels
January 2022 | 4/5
A family of aliens has travelled across the galaxy and opened a doughnut shop on earth. A violin virtuoso that has sold their soul to a demon. And a runaway, transgendered student looking for a home. Ryka Aoki blends genres masterfully in this tale.
I wasn't sure why we had aliens in a fairly standard, 'sold your soul to the devil' story, and just assumed a weak plot device to hammer home the sociopolitical message - and then, as the story came together, I couldn't help but smile and appreciate.
An easy read, that's tugs on your heart strings and forces you to see how your own follies and past judgements have impacted those around you.
This is a great read for anyone that's struggled with personal identity, embracing the unknown, or fitting in while you let yourself shine.

Weird but not bad
I feel like there is potential for two really great books in here: one, a cozy donut shop romance where the mom of the alien family falls in love with a human; the other, a darker fantasy with hints of hope wherein a damned musician searches for the seventh soul to sell to hell, the one that will free her own soul from a bargain she made decades ago. When you put them both together, the book is just...weird. Neither one lives up to their plot line.
That being said, I loved the queer and trans rep in here and how the author pulls no punches about what it takes to survive as a trans woman. I'll keep my eye out for what this author comes up with next.
