I still feel like I don't what to feel about this fever dream of  a book 
I liked the writing,he's certainly a good writer,I loved the descriptions and the places and so many things about the writing but I just couldn't look over the sexism and misogyny there even tho I know that it's understandable considering the time and place but I still didn't like how many times it wasn't addressed as an issue and sometimes even the characters that re aware of the wrongness of some things sometimes it feels like they act as if they don't think its that much of  abig deal, the explicit sexual scenes were just toooo much,the way Mustafa and some of the elderlies talks about women was just so disgusting and racist at so many times,I read  a lot of reviews to see what other people thought about this cause  know it has to signify something bigger about colonization and all but I stillfeel like that wasn't the best way to talk about it ,in just 200 pages there was  a lot of stuff and I was often left confused and perplexed,I'm sure with time ill probably change my mind about so many things and think about some others but for now that's all of it and unf again still cant really wrap my head around it for some reason

Wasn't expecting the book to go the way it did when I picked it up, writing was beautiful in many places but the overall story wasn't for me. Make sure to check content warnings!
