Joel H Sanderson

a steady (in the best way) detective fantasy story

Revisado: 02-24-25

These detective stories by Katherine Addison are charming. They are slow and methodical and piece by piece the mystery. I find them so comfortable to read and listen to that when I am stressed they are go-tos. the detective can speak to the dead somewhat and there's some political machinations, but even that is slow. He's not running away from an exploding building every other page. I didn't expect to like them much because he's a glum old bug, but he sees good in others and it's nice.

valuable and informative

This is a book on a subject -Congo over the past 20+ years and the history leading to that era-that is hard to cover and hard to find honest information about. The book covers the Congo without trying to tell everything. It isn't a history book that distills a thousand narratives. it presents narratives from different sides, comes to some of its own conclusions, and let's the reader come to some. I find it valuable because it attempts to explain what happened with the Congo without making it about the West. The story is miraculously about the Congo and the Congolese and it's neighbors and for that it deserves credit.

this is an ambitious book that mostly succeeds. it gives a lot of context where normally in the US education system we get none.
