lizshayne 's review for:

Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard
4.0
emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book is...not exactly a warm hug because it also burns with deep fury and also it's a hug. An unflinching look at colonialism and power imbalance and what it means to be loved and what love is. de Bodard is SO DARNED GOOD at wrapping the world into the novella form.
