Queen of the Conquered is a fascinating study of an (intentionally) unlikable character with a really interesting overall story arc, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and courage that went into developing the main protagonist. But I did find earlier parts of the novel more compelling than later parts, and the main character's ability to sink into minds slowed it down (since it was used to tell a lot about the other characters, and these sections were dry and dull).

so excited for king of the rising now, this ended AWESOME. very rarely does a book jump out at me like that, but i guess that's a sign i need to decolonize my mind further. some issues with language, pacing, and story telling that i didn't have with callender's other books popped up here, but otherwise fantastic
Hard to put my thoughts into words. Very interesting novel.
To be continued......
