Premee Mohammed’s The Siege of Burning Grass
I like the stuff I’ve read by Mohammed and have been meaning to get to this one for a while, but it just won the Aurora so I bumped it up the list. It’s about a guy in a fantasy world who’s in jail for basically being a conscientious objector during a war, but now his people want him to be part of some plot against the enemy that will finally end the war. This book is kind of slow (or maybe it’s just that I’m having an exhausting week at work and didn’t have the energy) but still a compelling story about wartime and resistance. Great ending too. A/A-.
