Three Faces of a Beheading by Arkady Martine
3.0
challenging dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Not quite sure what to make of this one. It does touch themes I find deeply important, such as the meaning of written history, but it’s also pretty convoluted. It’s be design mind you, but I can’t say I found the structure enjoyable, despite the interesting topics touched by Martine.
