It continues to be a hit -- probably because it's so spot-on, thematically. It stars a queer woman of color, and that has been a draw as well. \u003cem\u003eKitra\u003c\/em\u003e was featured in bookshop.org's newsletter in April \u003cem\u003e2021\u003c\/em\u003e, a full year after its release -- a testament to its endurance.
