A review by enbyglitch
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson
5.0
Wild, brutal, genius.
Central focus or no, this book has a lot to demonstrate about the nature of empires and colonialism. I'll certainly be looking at history in new ways.
Love this book for lgbt+ representation and bringing to light the ways in which persecution can be total and inescapable. Love that it never explains more than it needs to; and am utterly impressed by any fantasy world that can captivate me without a single depiction of magic (yet?)
Going to need a breather, but already looking forward to the sequels!
