This one threw me back to [a:David Brin|14078|David Brin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1352956147p2/14078.jpg]'s [b:The Practice Effect|1773030|The Practice Effect|David Brin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1266890957s/1773030.jpg|1771225]--somewhat different premise, but a similar idea of a world that magically changes simply because of interaction. I'd say there are some resonances with [a:Jen Williams|5403541|Jen Williams|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png], too, particularly in the ways that the author doesn't pull his punches in terms of the violent action.

This was most interesting to me because all the main characters are non-white (Sikh, black) or coming from an immigrant/refugee experience (Bosnian, Estonian).
