The story often veers off into lengthy flashbacks that I mostly found boring and at times confusing.
The chapters were also incredibly long. That structure didn't work well for me.
Moderate: Suicide, Death, Rape, and War
Minor: Confinement and Misogyny
ruthmoog's review against another edition
4.5
There were themes around womens existence and suffering which paired with the futility of existence when your society is being destroyed.
Unlike other stories I have read set in civil wars, the travel was through places rather than away from violence. All the while the journey had traumatic events and discomfort, but the mundane bureaucracy of revolution was at the forefront of the storytelling.
It's an interesting read, if you can cope with the subject matter I recommend it, but it wan't my favourite at the time so my star rating reflects that.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, and War
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury and Suicide
Minor: Misogyny, Gun violence, and Violence
