I'm so so so glad I picked this up.  Bangladeshi fantasy futurism with a taste of climate disaster and AI deities and anticapitalism, but like, in a fun way. I will forever be astounded at how well done the characters are. Even with such little time to meet them and learn about them, they feel whole and uniqe and interesting, ranging from a weed smoking teen djinn girl to the remarkably competent titular gurkha to a sherrif acting as the conscience of a machine. Satirical and odd and brilliantly horrible and also surprisingly uplifting for a book about people living in the wake of the end of the world as we know it.
