hab viel über den indischen unabhängigkeitskampf gelernt. witzig geschrieben (mag mithu sanyals humor sehr), aber etwas langatmig und von der krimi-handlung war ich nicht so überzeugt.

Jensi 🏴🚩 • he/him quoted Die Insel der Tausend Leuchttürme by Walter Moers (Zamonien, #10)
Am Fuße des Leuchtturms herrscht die Finsternis, aber darüber strahlt das Licht der Weisheit in die Ferne. Es sendet seine Botschaft von Einsamkeit zu Einsamkeit. Und diese Botschaft lautet: Du bist nicht allein.
— Die Insel der Tausend Leuchttürme by Walter Moers (Zamonien, #10) (Page 609)

pdotb reviewed Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki
I loved it, but...
5 stars
I can't remember the last time I read a novel that I felt so much. I love the characters, particularly the three central women, I love the story, wild though it is, I love the descriptions, and I love the ending. I felt invested in the characters' lives, particularly Katrina's, in a way I rarely do.
I'm not sure I can unequivocally recommend it, though. Ryka Aoki doesn't shy away from showing how hard Katrina's life is. The first few chapters are particularly tough going, but even when things pick up for her, it's still not all beer and skittles. Not sure I could provide a definitive list of CWs, but transphobia and sexual assault would have to be in there.
