Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Banger.
Imo it's sold short by its own marketing; the question of the merits of violence vs nonviolence was only really touched on in the last, like, quarter of the book and even then I found it a leeeeettle shallow and a bit muddled by character arcs that ?arguably? contradict the thesis. Really what resonated with me was the (imo much more in-depth and insightful) discussion of the responsibilies that people living in the imperial core have when it comes to anticolonial action. Not "should revolution use violence" but "who should use the violence." Ok maybe I am splitting hairs.
Also the blunt, extremely-omniscient-narrator style was not to my typical taste and took some time to get used to. But that is just personal preference.
Again: banger.
