Tade Thompson: The Rosewater Redemption (2019, Orbit) 4 stars

Review of 'The Rosewater Redemption' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The ending felt a little rushed. All in all, the story was a fresh and different take on an alien invasion story--told with the lens of Africa's experience of colonization. "But we kept the trains" as an idea, could Africa benefit from the alien colonizers?

I resented the CIA guy a bit. Wish that Americans hadn't been involved at all in the solution to the problem.

The robot's attempt to build affordable housing was a brief aside, but part of a handful of things that gave this series its own point of view.
