Interesting premise and subject matter but the meat of the story was barricaded behind flowery writing making too many allusions to the Bible. Rounds out the story to being just okay.

I did appreciate some things that I would consider "risks" that the author took: filling in fiction around a true story and using journals/unreliable narrators. I also liked that the themes surrounding colonization and imperialism were clearly there without being overtly obvious. Makes me feel like I'm thinking critically to connect the story to real life.
