Review: The Daevabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty

If you take any message from this trilogy, I hope it is to choose what’s right even when it seems hopeless–especially when it seems hopeless. Stand for justice, be a light, and remember what it is we were promised by the One who knows better.
With every hardship comes ease.

Review: One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

While the terrible thing is happening–while the land is still being stolen and the natives still being killed–any form of opposition is terroristic and must be crushed for the sake of civilization.
