While yes the POVs include, as the book describes, a reformist and his apolitical partner, there are also the Kommunistas and the Haraka (Arabic for movement, one of the words in the full names of Hezbollah and Hamas) so I feel like the politics are varied!! Wish the Kommunistas were cooler tho lol

I was wrong, hezbollah does not contain the word haraka. There’s a different Iraqi group that uses both words tho

I get why there isn’t an audiobook version, this is like reading the Moon is a Harsh Mistress 🥴
