I didn't know anything starting this book, and honestly, that's a good thing. This is a good story. Maybe I was expecting more action, but it would have been too much. So yeah, a good surprise. Sometimes I felt a bit lost, but I think it's more because I was reading it when I needed to sleep than because of the book

Less than 100 pages but it drew me in so deeply. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. Bravo.

3.0

A really fun and cool take on identity, culture, colonialism, and knowledge!  I really do wish that it was a bit longer because the ending felt a bit rushed and wasn’t as satisfying as I hoped it would be, but I still enjoyed it a lot!
