Loka – Fire Shepherds (2006) is a cinematic mix of trip hop, future jazz and downtempo textures. Deep rhythms, organic instrumentation and moody atmospheres make it a hidden gem worth revisiting.

@cavyherd I really liked [Loka](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/96cb102d-6158-4b55-ac23-156decd273ad) (and it's prequel #Meru, but I found #Loka to be the stronger story)

It takes a bit of a "what if we learned not to do a colonialism but we leaned too far into the liberal 'anticolonialism' that is essentially isolationism"

Random thought: @sbdivya's "Loka" reminds me a lot of "Moana"*. Hear me out:

We've got a young heroine rejecting her birthright and setting out on an adventure which turns into a much bigger thing. She loves the sea, but has to learn to sail regardless; it's hard, and dangerous, and the most beautiful thing ever. She finds out about seemingly lost arts, gets to teach her elders to sail and finds a way to fulfill her destiny.

*that's a good thing! Fave Disney princess, hands down

The Challenge has some political consequences, but it feels like a smaller story. A story about teenage need for rebellion and teenage recklessness. I've been there and I've done that, I don't actually care that much.

I wanted to see alloy society and human politicking and the structure of this universe!

So, it wasn't what I'd expected.

But "Loka" also has beautiful and evocative descriptions of the joy and danger of sailing small craft across oceans, astute observations about grief and dealing with chronic illness, and in the end, Jayanthi comes through and does what all parents should: nurture and away-follow, as @adapalmer says, their children.

And that was a great ending and theme.

So, "Loka" by @sbdivya. I loved "Meru", and when I finished it, I wanted more: sweeping stories about alloy society in space, historical background, humans being complacent and ambitious.

But Divya chooses to tell a different story in "Loka": a more constrained, more intimate story, at heart a story about a friendship.

Akshaya is Jayanthi's and Vaha's kid, illegally conceived and with illegal alloy genes.

“I’m afraid I’ve done to her what your maker did to you.” Vaha understood what she was getting at. Zir maker had designed Vaha to be a multimodal pilot, and Vaha had struggled for years to fulfill that destiny. In the end, zie had let it go in order to find true happiness."

YES! Yes, you did, and finally you're getting it!

"Somehow, I would have to get up in the morning and keep moving forward, even though I wanted the world to stop."

What a poignant description of what grief is like that is.

#Loka #Books2024

"She wished she had wings so she could swoop down, take her child in her arms, and give her the palliative that would bring her relief. Instead, all she could do was watch and worry."

Being a parent never changes, I guess.

#Loka #Books2024

“If I’m going to tack or jibe, that means this big, beautiful beam’s going to swing across the deck. I’ll give you a warning first. You know why they call it a boom, right? Because that’s what it sounds like when it hits your head.”

😂 I totally *am* using that when next sailing with newbies.

#Loka #Books2024

I remember Jayanthi having an attitude like "parenting? How hard can it be?" in "Meru" and... that's going about as well as you'd imagine, as a parent.

It's kind of sad that she's also so focused on her child fulfilling the purpose it's designed for, given how much Vaha struggled with that. It's so hard to break these cycles.

#Loka #Books2024

What to read ne... oh right, @sbdivya's "Loka", sequel to "Meru" (which I enjoyed very much) is out! Okay, that's that then.
