I really enjoyed this follow up to So Let Them Burn. It felt raw and like it reached inside my bones and pulled.

Cole’s writing is evocative and heart wrenching, and made me re-examine what it means to be a sister.

It was an angry, emotional, beautiful rendering, full of rage and bad decisions and consequences. The power of a book is to take us somewhere we’ve never been, and I thought the examination of what it means to be a colonised island recently freed, a colonising empire and it’s decline and the politics of world powers was cleverly done.

I also really liked the world building, and how there was discussion around how the whole continent was affected and not just Farrah’s country.

I highly recommend this.
