The City Always Wins by Omar Robert Hamilton

4.0

I don’t think I enjoyed this novel - it took me freaking forever to finish it, but it’s a necessary and good read. It’s bleak, brutal, relentless, and doesn’t give you much space to breathe, just like the revolution itself. I imagine it’s going to hit home for many given the global wave of protests over the past few years. At least it hits home for me. It’s the closest I’ll ever get with a revolution, be it successful or failed, and I deeply appreciate its honesty to not shy away from all the difficult decisions facing everyone who took part in it.
