Shaka as a main character is challenging and provocative, but her desires and need for autonomy are pretty mundane.

I enjoyed this peak into the mind and thoughts of this character against the backdrop of a life, largely live within a single room.

I think that this book explores accessibility power and class in an interesting way. There’s never a balance at any point in this book all three are at play.

The narrative kept me off balance as well. Whenever I thought that I could predict the next plot point something new would happen.
