Forgive my jaded ignorance, but what do the peaceful protests actually accomplish? The Trump administration doesn't care and dismisses the protestors as whiny or paid actors. It feels as though they serve as an outlet for the frustrations of the people without receiving any concessions in return. It's one step above "vote away the fascism".
As they say, if it actually changed anything, it would be illegal.
I read and enjoyed it but it was definitely very "hit you over the head" on imperialism/colonialism, and the ending was kind of predictable.
The Poppy War trilogy, however, I am nearly finished with and I have absolutely loved. It is raw, honest, unpredictable, and very well written. Also long af.
That would have bombed
