i feel like someone just fired a shotgun into my chest. brutal & sad. brings really interesting new depth to the first book. amazing narrator, deeply unlikeable in Black Leopard, Red Wolf and made human, understandable if hugely flawed here. Tracker is a villain in Sogolon’s story as she’s a villain in his. they both have their own motives & perspectives in telling their stories. they’re so similar in so many ways. extremely tragic characters, fuck!!!
