I hate that I liked this book. This was chosen for my book club, and after about 40% of the way through, I was committed to letting my book club know I hated it. I kept going, and wow. I couldn't stop reading. I can't stop thinking about this book. I thought the whole Shadow World thing was stupid at first and just a little out there, but once she started talking about colonialism in context of the Shadow World... This should be required reading for white people.

I regret listening to the audiobook because there were so many sections I wanted to annotate the hell out of, so I'm gonna have to reread this once I've got a physical copy.

While this is a very zeitgeisty book, I think it'll age better than others, as it serves almost as a history book mixed with memoir mixed with psychology.
