I also listened to the audiobook, and I feel like it would have benefited a lot from having different voice actresses for the different points of view.
Otherwise, it was a very well done exploration of colonialism in a fantasy framework. The characters are very real, complicated people, who make mistakes constantly. I will definitely recommend this book!

It’s dark, it’s grim, it’s frustrating. Characters make mistakes and the consequences are catastrophic.
I adored it.
