This book is very clear and filled with actionable information, as well as backing everything up with stats you can use yourself with “skeptics”. I read a book on inclusion in the work place as well as this and this is, by far and away more helpful to me, personally. It’s clear and concise and affordable and not a long read; filled with examples and first hand accounts; and includes a comprehensive appendix. Highly recommend it.

I think some of it went over my head because I’m not familiar with the historical context and it’s about, in part, queering that context. Even still I found it very funny and poignant, wish I’d have been able to experience the plays in person.

This was such a pleasant surprise, despite the heavy subject matter. At the start it felt a bit shakey and underdeveloped, and I struggled with it a bit. Literally every facet of it that annoyed me to begin with became pertinent and once the case really starts coming together it became one of the most interesting crime novels I’ve read. There’s some very clever subversions with gender expectation, the case is rooted in real world events in Bosnia, and the dynamics between the characters are also great as they come to a head. But the ending really clinched this as a 5 star book for me.

Then, after the book there’s thorough notes on the events in Bosnia and how they relate to the book. Fantastic book. Very glad I picked it up. Plan on reading the rest of the series for sure.

Well written but the anti-semitism left an extremely bitter after taste.

The narrator of the audiobook didn’t help but I gave it 2 hours and it was wildly boring and pedantic. Combined with a monotone I just couldn’t handle it at all.

Powerful and maybe the saddest book I’ve ever read. I loved how complex and well realized every character is. There is no wasted space at all. It really emphasizes how important it is to communicate what you mean, as others internalize everything done or said. Something as complex as that is wrapped up in layers: sibling and family unit communication to systemic racism and marginalization. Astoundingly good book, imo.

Surprisingly good, especially on audible with a full cast and sound effects. It was deeper than expected, interrogating a few of the things that feel like an oversight in the republic, such as slavery. It still very much read like commercial fiction and is quite straight forward but the willingness to examine things introduced in the movies more critically, especially in relation to the Jedi, was a pleasant surprise.

Kind of weird that there’s two cannons now: book and tv series. This is attached to the tv property and doesn’t expand on much. It was fine, but doesn’t add much to the world.
