So back in the, ummm, somewhat better days of social media, the
translator was all over Book Twitter, and I figured I probably ought
to read it one day.  As it turns out, I was a member of the 2021
Worldcon so I actually have an epub of it from the 2021 Hugo voter's
packet.  Perhaps I'll get around to reading it some day.  (I'm doing
badly enough on this year's nominees -- I blew through the artist
categories because they're easy and don't require a lot of focus, but
the I have not been able to get into the prose at all, let alone the
zines and fan writing, and there are very few days left to vote.)
