Vehicle crash. Attack by animal. Abuse only briefly explicitly depicted in flashbacks, though the aftermath is present and discussed throughout. (Attempt at) memory modification.emmastrange's review against another edition

Didn’t give five stars just because at certain points the politics felt shallow and not very nuanced. I love themes of imperialism so when you introduce them, i expect them to be more fully fleshed out. BUT i can’t dock too many points bc that just isn’t what the book is focused. Still, prevents it from being a five star for me

Not my usual five star read, and maybe it was timing but who cares. I loved this book, and Kiem and Jainan and Bel et al.
Been waiting to read this one for far too long 💜
Graphic: Toxic relationship
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Gaslighting

Includes flashbacks to an emotionally abusive relationship, and regular internal thoughts by the victim of that relationship regarding their self worth.fool_ofabook's review against another edition
