i have really conflicting feelings about this one. on one hand, baby butch lesbian and positive sex worker rep but on the other hand, there was a lot of unchallenged ableism and the ending was rushed

this was so not my cup of tea but the passion which okorafor writes about the importance of culture is phenomenal

➸ Trigger warnings for

racism, colourism, unwanted touching, unconsented body modifications, blood/gore, death of a friend, mass murder, animal death mentioned, and war themes
