The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickenson, 400 pagesJosh summed this up incredibly well here, so I'll try not to rehash what he wrote. I will say that the bulk of this book can be examined as the ways in which an indigenous savant can use her talents to gain power both in and out of the colonizing empire, as well as the central role of accountants can play in governing. In those elements, this is a pretty straightforward novel.
But the end. Well. Oof.
I'm curious to see how the Orcs & Aliens book group reacts to this one on Monday.
