HER DUELING HIM?? HELLO?!?!

Ayan, Somali name mentioned !

Odysseus trying to hug his mom but not being able to touch her ghostly body :,(((( a bitch could weep

Having her unmarried aunt suddenly find her guy at the end is so weird

Why are we doing a forbidden love shtick all of a sudden. This book is all over the place and the overly modern slang is annoying me

My god is Ana Huang allergic to specificity when it comes to her characters ethnicities/cultural backgrounds. The characters Ethiopian but she never specifies WHAT her ethnicity she is. Everything is just generally East African (and honestly Horn of Africa). It’s like saying I’m Kenyan and acting like means something besides nationality ??? Annoying when you’re from the areas her characters are from

Sambuso mentioned

Not a fan of how this book uses settler and immigrant interchangeably…

“I am the greatest ventriloquist that ever lived, I am the first ventriloquist in the world!”

“The wretch, who really was the first ventriloquist in the world…”

I can’t rn 😭😭😭

“The Persian” is so sweet 😭😭

It may be because I love literary analysis but chapter three “authorizing moral crusades” is the best chapter so far
