Wow wow wow wow wow. This book is incredibly timely, and at the same time hopeful and devastatingly tragic. This is a thesis on colonization while at the same time being a legit dark academia entertainment piece. Sometimes you read a book and you know it’s going to be a classic of this age. This is that book.
