We watch some characters make terrible choices across the board, which is hard but also very real. Loved getting to see this aspect. Lots of references to racial violence and commentary on colonization

Second time reading this, first time by audio format. I enjoyed the print version more. It’s fun to see the growth of the characters but, wow, do they make some awful decisions. The ending shocked me all over again.
