Review of 'The Rosewater Insurrection' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

read it after seeing it on an NPR "2021: A decade of great sci-fi and fantasy". the main character has no redeeming qualities, he's self centered and uninterested in anyone around him except for women who are all objectified and revolved around whether he would have sex with them. Loved to see a book set in nigeria, the alien details were cool, but I couldn't get past the MC and his grossness around every other character. I was ready to DNF it but thought the last third might show some development or progress, but no, it's just gross all the way through.
