There's a lot here, some of it very good, but the relationships just never quite clicked for me - or rather, the protagonist's jumbled heart felt like a jigsaw bought at a flea market, and it's only when you get home that you realise a third of the pieces are missing.
Maybe that says more about me than the writing, but everyone around Niloo came off believably and consistently, all while she became more and more opaque. Something you might expect from a great deal of editing, where everyone the lead has been properly recalibrated for the changes.
Still, as important a topic as ever, and I'm looking forward to reading further afield in 2019 as a result.
