This came from one of those tumblr posts on what to read when GtN has just occupied your brain and yeah.

Anti-colonialism fantasy about French North Africa and how it only takes a handful of genuinely bad actors to completely destabilize a good faith attempt at peace. Also, as might be guessed, queer women.

Has a few moments that made me go “yeah this is a first novel” mostly in some of the transitions, but exceptional work otherwise.
