I really enjoyed this novella. Rivers Solomon writes in such an immersive way that I found this novella to give me both space to process the importance of the story while also being deeply engaged in the world that had been created.
 I wanted more of Basha's story and history - some of me wished that time had been a more central component. But, alas, I think we were only given snippets for good reason. 
This is definitely  heavy story that asks the reader to reflect and question the way in which they think about history. Very glad to have read it.
