Shadow Speaker by Nnedi Okorafor
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot

This book was originally published in 2007 and republished with new material in 2023. So why did Nnedi Okorafor choose to keep the m slur (derogatory for people with dwarfism) in the book. The quoutw even reads "m slure, little person". So she had the proper termanology and chose to be offensive regardless.
I listened to the last 25-30% of this on audio 2.25 apeed drifting in and out of sleep but I will say the second half of the story is more expansive and less interesting. I will not be reading the second book.
