I resent this book, a little, for being as good as everyone says that it is. It's the kind of interesting that makes me want to say "just read it, I can't describe it" because it keeps doing strange and interesting things with genre conventions and locational assumptions, but also it's a story about the im/possibility of breaking hegemonic power structure because what else is fantasy for?
