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