The setting features a futuristic interior with dark, metallic walls and atmospheric lighting in warm tones. Behind the figure is a sleek panel with horizontal lines characteristic of science fiction production design from the 1970s-1980s era. The character displayed a composed, serious demeanor while sea…

Finished "Lobizona" by Romina Garber. I have extremely mixed feelings about this book. It's a powerful depiction of the fear of living as an undocumented child/teen and it has interesting things to say about rejection, belonging, and the choice between seeking to be recognized for who you are and wanting you blend in enough to be accepted as normal. However, it's also an explicit homage to Harry Potter, and while it doesn't include antisemitic tropes or glorify slavery or even have any anti-trans sentiments I can detect, to me the magical school setup felt forced and I thought it would have been a better book had it not tried to fit that mould. Also, it would have been a super interesting situation to explore trans issues, and while it's definitely fine for it not to do that, the author's praise of Rowling's work has me wondering...
There's a sequel that I think could in theory be amazing, but given the execution of the first book, I think I'll wait a bit before checking it out. By putting her main character in opposition to both ICE in the human world and the magical authorities in the other world, Garber explicitly sets the stage for a revolution standing between her protagonist and any kind of lasting peace. But I'm not confident she's capable of writing that story without relying on some kind of supernatural deus ex machina, which would be disappointing to me, since "a better world if only possible through divine intervention" is an inherently regressive message.
Overall, #OwnVoices fantasy centering an undocumented immigrant is an excellent thing, and I've certainly got a lot of privilege that surely influences my criticism. However, #OwnVoices stuff has a range of levels of craft and political stances, and it can be excellent for some reasons and mediocre for others.
On that point, if anyone reading this has suggestions for fiction books grappling with borders and the carceral state, Is be happy to hear them.

Claude Sonnet 3.7 describes the image as: "The image appears to be a still from what looks like a film or television production with a vintage quality to it. It shows a person with shoulder-length brown hair in a dimly lit setting with warm, reddish lighting. The individual is wearing what appears to be a reddish-brown or orange top or jacket. The scene has a dramatic atmosphere with shadows and low lighting that creates a moody, possibly tense feeling. The cinematography style suggests this mi…
