Great book! My only problem, nothing to do with the plot or the way Ms.D writes, but rather there are some parts which are so densely packed with information that I (as someone who is out of practice with reading) must hold these huge paragraphs of information in my mind as I read. For those who may not understand I am also reading Dune at the same time which contain sentences of bits of information which I can retain easier it’s just quite hard for me with Nervous Conditions. I loved Nyasha and Tambudzai and Lucia!!πŸ˜©πŸ™βœ¨
