5.0
Possibly one of the best SFF books about colonialism that I've read. It's complex and deeply deeply tragic and painful, and possibly very slow for readers who prefer fast-paced action/battle scenes, but I really enjoyed it!
Moderate: Xenophobia, War, Violence, Religious bigotry, Murder, Homophobia, and Colonisation
Eugenics is also a CW for this
