From Thomil’s ”We Kwen have a word for that—taking ancestral items from people who aren’t dead. It’s called stealing.” to Sciona’s thought Thomil didn’t respond—because he knew she was right, she decided… I am so worked up.

i went into this blind, so forgive my ignorance. Is this book intended to be an allegory or metaphor for the damage colonisation does? Because, as much as I love magic, I am furious with Sciona (is she the unknown scion for a particular family?) and her intellectual blindness. I am so uncomfortable. The more she opens her mouth, it just does not stop.

(If she and Thomil end up together? Oh no, please no.)
