A Conspiracy of Stars by Olivia A. Cole

1.0

If you're white and you liked Avatar, you'll probably like this book. But me, I hated Avatar and couldnt finish it. Same goes for A CONSPIRACY OF STARS. It's supposed to be anti-colonial, but it really upholds a lot of colonial ideals and racist tropes. Maybe this story could have been OK if it was told by a Black or Indigenous person, but instead it's a white woman writing out her stereotypes and biased knowledge of both Black and Indigenous peoples. No thanks.
