I thought this book was really well done and managed to showcase a lot of heavy concepts regarding exile, trauma, survival and continuity of culture in a relatively low page count. I enjoyed the multiple points of view as many characters looked at the same situation in entirely different ways. The trajectory and different meanings of the Nameless Saint were my favourite parts of the novel. It meandered a bit in the middle with a sort of melodramatic romance that didn't really feel necessary but overall I loved this.
