Instead, we got the barest hint of that, with a very self centred, very white narrator that was, honestly, kind of boring.
The worst thing about this book was it wasn't bad. It just could have been incredible.

Additional TW (Moderate): genital mutilation— is tht not a tag bc body horror?(discussion/description); Character Death (not main character death); The ‘Moderate’ TWs are for like, things that Exist in the world but are (i think) handled very well. The framing is very clear for example: Racism. Racism exists and is an oppressive force to contend with but Our Characters recognize it as Bad and Wrong and won’t give the ‘race mixing’ conversation any credence. So these are topics touched on throughout.carlylame's review against another edition

The characters felt real, the plot was high-stakes, but grounded and there were some excellent pieces of writing throughout.
Points off because
