Second book syndrome exceptionally strong

“... I stockpile letters, all bloated with symbolic power, for they are the products of a history that isn't done with the discursive. With rebellion in mind, I aim them at a tomorrow free from the rhetorical trickery of colonizers everywhere.”

ugh chefs kiss

3.5 - This book, along with Red Rising, is captivating enough to keep you going as long as you ignore its treatment of female characters. If not used as plot devices or love interests, they are mentioned briefly at whore houses, to be used by soldiers to “entertain” themselves between battles.

Evan Winter I give you one more book to redeem your sexist undertone.

3.5 - you may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships

Motherhood under patriarchal capitalism is fucking bleak

Um... ok

Only took me a year to finish a non fiction book lol

Didnt enjoy this as much as the first book, but I'll continue with the series

Haven't cried this hard reading a book in a long time... if you were bullied in school this is a gut punch of a read, but in a good way?

Put me in a reading slump

The last 30% took a steep nosedive..

Went on and on and on...

When I proposed a presentation on the gender based violence that man camps of extractive industries have on the local Indigenous women & two-spirited individuals, my professor at that time said the presentation was too “one sided” and “not all men”. Graham Forbes I hope you read this fucking book.
