Ok so I would rank this higher, but I don't like the being a coloniser is ok because we accepted everyone before we made every bad setting, it just sits wrong with me.
And also the audio book is narrated in the Queen's English, which is difficult, annoying and unpleasant to listen to, it is also a very posh accents which does not help this book.
And also although the British empire is much less racist and homophobic it is still very very classist. With very unequal wealth distribution, elite upper class full on monarchy still going on, religion as part of the state ect.
So normally I would have given this two stars, but I didn't because (now let me fanboy over problematic fiction without judgement here) INTERSEX AND POLYAMORY REP!!!! Like this is a rare combination and I'm stannin the rep! That is why it gets a low 3 stars.
