In the Serpent's Wake (2022, Random House Children's Books) No rating

Let's be honest: I started this without knowing anything about it. It took me about ten chapters to realize it was a sequel. I had not read any of the prevous books but decided to finish this one anyway. I found it tedious at times. It annoyed me, especially be being excrutiatingly long. It wasn't until the last act that I realized what it was going for and even then I couldn't believe it but while slowly grasping the complexity of it all I had to admit that this book contains one of the most brilliant deconstructions of colonialist mindsets from a White perspective I have ever encountered. I have seen far better writers go for this and fail, but Rachel Hartman succeeds with flying colours. Joke's on me. This book is actually amazing.
