A review by vigil
The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.

uninteresting, and a cheap shallow take on race and colonialism that the white authors had no business trying to include, considering their lack of skill. i don’t care about a race traitor cop, or a con woman who barely gets to do cons, and has the morals of your average victorian aristocrat, despite being a mixed race street orphan. 

and for a novel that goes to painstaking lengths to demonstrate a queernormative society, this book is oddly against anyone doing anything really queer.
