A review by theboricuabookworm
The Bruising of Qilwa by Naseem Jamnia

emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

A sucker punch of a book that took me half the book to understand what was happening and the other half to mourn the constant cycle of colonialism. This book is up there with This Is How You Lose the Time War in terms of ethereal pain.
