I LOVED this series. The varying literary styles from book to book was so fun and well-executed. Lady Han is a bad ass and I enjoyed her story here at the end.

I LOVE a story told through artifacts! This one was especially well done.

Brutally honest take on the lifecycle of radicalization for a young cis white woman. It is so cringy because it is so true.

I wanted more from both the world building and the character building but what I got was creative, engaging, emotional and wonderfully queer.

It’s incredible how every character was so well-developed and engaging in such a short book. I found the time jumps a little hard to follow, but that might be because I was flying through to figure out what happened.

A great read to provide context to a complicated reality in Palestine. I really appreciated the analysis in the conclusion.

I love this book soo much!! It is a desert island book for sure. I would be perfectly content to read it over and over. There was a missed opportunity to give more recognition to intersex, nonbinary, and asexual identities because they were definitely in the book!

Really well written. Heavy on philosophy, if that is your thing!
