User Profile
Love quirky, odd, queer stories 🏳️🌈 A dash of fantasy and a lot of sci-fi. My favorite genre combo is LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction. Not a big fan of crime and mysteries (unless they're really weird). 99% digital, ebooks and audio, loans and rentals. If you buy me a physical book and I like it, I will give it away when I'm done reading it.

spoiler-free vague review + CWs for this book
5 stars
A long, heavy, beautifully written and very biting book about the ways in which colonialism coopts people and institutions, and the simultaneous difficulty and necessity of resisting that. Deeply and cleverly tied in with real 19th Century history of Britain and its empire, while also being a fantasy story with a very specific magic system that I enjoyed in itself.
I highly recommend this book, but it should also come with some content warnings: * Colonialism * Lots of depictions of racism * Abusive parenting * Abusive academia * Violence * Not afraid to kill important characters

Jeg er ret sikker på at jeg har læst denne her engang for 100 år siden, men nu da ATV+ laver den til en serie (tak for tippet @Eg0nJN@expressional.social), må jeg hellere få den genlæst :)
