Andy Pressman reviewed The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson (The Masquerade, #1)
Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home …
Best post-colonial fantasy I've read in years
5 stars
Very specific in tone. Unforgettable narrator. Extremely well-written, almost to an unnecessary degree (the prosaic is often described in the poetic, which can grate). But it's an achievement, with a plot full of sucker punches.
