I LOVED this omg. This explores everything: colonialism, imperialism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, overall bigotry, but all within the context of academia and the British empire. For being such an academic, thought-provoking book, this also has its comedic moments. Not funny haha, but funny, sharp quips that critique the systems that still plague so much of the world. I also loved the way footnotes were used in this!! I’ve never seen them utilized in such an inventive, effective, and funny way. Robin is SUCH an interesting character, and he speaks to the people who align themselves with human rights and revolution in theory, but perhaps struggle to engage in revolution movements in a more direct and uncomfortable way that would upset the convenience that capitalist systems would have us rely on. Ok also the blending of historical fiction and fantasy/magic in this was so stellar, and silver working as a concept is fleshed out in an incredibly clever way.
This story is SO timely and I can’t recommend it enough!!
