Having just dnf’d a book that was heavy on the social commentary and light on plot, I was a bit reluctant to pick this one up. I needn’t have worried though, as the story was fantastic and the messages were well embedded within the story so I stayed engrossed.
I loved the choice to use spelling errors and bad grammar in the narrative voice, due to the MC’s poor education. Usually such a choice might become jarring but it flowed really well. I am not sure yet whether I have the heart for the next one but we shall see.
minus one star for the way Manchee died. I’m never forgiving Ness
