sassenachthebookwizard 's review for:
Salvation Day
by Kali Wallace
Full review to come but I want to make sure I get this quote:
The whole purpose of the Council's is supposed to be a way to stop using "it's not that simple" as an excuse to protect our own comfort while others suffer. That's what the Councils are trying to do, isn't it? They're trying to make it look like they're so fucking magnanimous for not blaming children for being raised in a poisoned wasteland, and hoping nobody will notice that they're ignoring all the people still there...
...I had spent my entire life not thinking about it. Not thinking about why Baqir banked his anger with deliberate calm when he talked about his childhood. Not thinking about how absurd it was that a world capable of building research outposts on moons hundreds of millions of kilometers away claimed it couldn't protect children from sickness if those children happened to be in the wrong place on the map. Not thinking about how insidiously easy it was to yi oneself that the burden of proving one's humanity rested entirely on those who could help but choose not to. I'm thinking about it now. They're going to make me sit in there and justify trying to save humanity so, yes, I've been thinking about why it's worth saving.
