A review by shiradest
The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson

Again, I've found the texts that I sent to myself as I read this book, intending to write the review two years ago, but lost them.

I recall enjoying the first volume, but finding the second one appropriately more disturbing, as we see him move into manhood, and the full knowledge of the horror that he and his mother have lived through, and how they are being used to perpetuate racist disinformation. My notes follow, please forgive me for not currently having the energy to arrange them better, fellow readers:


very nice ending with lots of Menace and Sinister feeling suspense to the opening scene of the astonishing life of Octavian Nothing by Mt Anderson volume two in the series of the kingdom of the Waves Kingdom on the waves. This was page 17.

P. 28 of Octavian nothing second volume I love this quote as it transpired, this is this was precisely what I did. And quote nice funny ironic ending to this chapter or scene rather

P. 30. Very nice circular problem that our hero is plunged into.

P. 61 oct. Nothing, by Anderson,. Now I know where the Spanish word catarro

P. 101 Henderson is Octavian nothing. Interesting Fable. How sad that is so cynical that either that this author believes that altruism is based either on self-pity, or on anger and the wish to use that anger in a noble way.


P. 144/145. interest and commentary of the Gathering of plantations almost like the varieties of Greek dances on the islands gospel began the blues
