Contains brainfog. I admire people who have a clear definition for what each number of stars means, but I give them out purely intuitively.

jay wants to read The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey (The Captive's War #1)
Got this from a fedizen (physically), thank you!
I didn't read the Expanse series because I watched the tv show and after consulting with my sister who'd read the novels in german decided it wouldn't be novel enough, so it's my first time reading something from this author team.

Issa
4 stars
Hab es innerhalb von 24 Stunden angehört.
Aus der Ich-Perspektive erzähltes Stück Lebensgeschichte einer Afrodeutschen zweiter Generation und ihrer Vorfahrinnen bis zurück zur deutschen Kolonialherrschaft. Es geht um Entwurzelung und ihre Unumkehrbarkeit, trotz Möglichkeiten der Linderung.
Es geht um die Allgegenwart von Rassismus. Ich dachte ich hätte schon vorher ein gutes Verständnis für das Ausmaß von Rassismus gehabt, aber wie das Buch zeigt wie direkt die historischen Verbrechen heute noch wirken hat mein Verständnis und meine Demut ein ganzes Stück erweitert.
Die Behandlung von Spiritualität ist gelungen. Einige wenige Szenen, vor allem historische, fand ich etwas platt.
