The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

What a book. It definitely accomplishes political intrigue and feels very clever, but I think it was maybe too dark for my personal tastes. Huge trigger warning for homophobic conversion and torture. This will probably be my funniest pride month read. Diversity win.
