the book weaves between more fantastical and more realistic moments seamlessly and the realistic fantasy fits the narrative well. one of those books where you might be a little confused in the beginning and it takes some time to figure out the relationships between the main characters, although it doesn't quite weave together as solidly as my general book preference.
Graphic: Slavery and Colonisation
Moderate: Violence and War

Many hisorical books make characters endure suffering before giving them a moment of resolution/redemption. The ratio of time spent suffering to time spent empowered is about 80:1- you spend the most of the book in graphic violencejavafenn's review against another edition
