our power lies in alliance and sometimes even that isn't enough. loved so much about this yet i felt like the amount of information and philosophical discussions the book offered overshadowed the characters that sometimes felt just a bit flat. wasn't the biggest fan of the ending yet it made complete sense. must read for anyone who is remotely interested in linguistics and (post) colonial theory.

first 60% were awfully slow but the rest made up for it. eerie and thrilling but overall structurally unbalanced (which seems to be a general issue i tend to have with moreno-garcias novels)

MADK, Vol. 3 by Ryo Suzuri
this was disgusting what the fuck was that flesh eating dick , rushed and struggled to find the right tone. won't rate this because in the end it's problematic yaoi horror p*rn. (and yes, i did "get it", it just wasn't written well)
