I thought this was such an interesting concept and had to pick it up. It did a great job telling its story in a focused narrative that only took about 4 hours to get through. I particularly enjoyed the change in Damira over time, and how passionate she was about her cause. The themes of greed, power, environmentalism and memory and poignant and distressing. On the negative, I found the narrator for Vladimir very jarring. And while the narrative was rich, it was at time hard to follow. Overall, it was a solid read, unlike anything I've read before, but not a favourite.
