bisexualwentworth's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
This is a very strange book. I think it accomplished what the author wanted it to, and I think I liked it. I certainly looked at the world through a slightly shifted lens for a few hours.
You Dreamed of Empires is experimental historical fiction that reads like fantasy. I mean that in a complimentary way.
I will probably revisit it at some point.
