  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No

4.0

A deep book that weaves magic into the mundane and looks at the difficulties of maintaining cultural continuity and community in the face of colonialism. I definitely need to read this again and give it a closer read. Not uplifting for the most part, but definitely worth while.
