I loved this book. It says so much about language and imperialism and memory, and it does all of that amidst fabulous worldbuilding and compelling characters. I loved Mahit and Three Seagrass and I had so many feelings and thoughts about everyone and everything else. I wanted a bit more from some of the political aspects, but that may well come in the sequel.
