![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The main character: Selah is the worst MC I’ve read in a while. It’s a mish-mash of fairy tales and myths that make little sense and are just cobbled together into …. The setting: When is this book set? An alternate history post-American revolution that didn’t happen? Sometime in the 1800s? Instead of the American revolution, India - I mean ‘Bharat’ - had a violent rebellion and England retreated back into its own borders to mind its own business and give up on empire? There’s this evil Eastern European empire that’s chewing up countries and spitting them out ravenously and everyone is afraid of it? Why do Europe, New York, and England get to keep their names but every other (non-white) country gets a name change? A girl can’t rule on her own but suddenly there are radios and she’s wearing a ponytail? The ‘retelling’: This is not a retelling of anything. I kept waiting for it to get better… and then it ended. ![]()
