The Unbroken

I don't know how I ever let this sit on my TBR. An epic, political fantasy in a world where being queer is the norm with a heavy focus on colonialism inspired by real world history. Tourraine, a disgraced soldier from the army of the colonizers, along with her squad of the military is sent to the country she was taken from where they have to fight against the uprising local rebellion against the colonisation. Throw family ties, magic, conflicting feelings and more than one identity crisis in the mix and you'll have this soldier questioning her entire life at once. My personal highlight: The way Tourraine's inner conflict is shown not only through her decisions but also her regrets and doubts. This is a beautiful book and I can't wait to read the next part in the series.
