Midnight Robber, by Nalo Hopkinson
Aww yeah secondary-world sf with interesting worldbuilding and a female main character, OBVIOUSLY I am there. Also I continue to love how Hopkinson writes.
I'm not sure what else to say about this book; I don't really feel competent to review it? It's really good but also really emotionally intense. I loved the worldbuilding, and found the content of the book to be good but upsetting - it deals with issues of sexual abuse and generally terrible parenting, so you know, approach with caution if those are topics you'd have trouble reading about.
And now that I've read two Nalo Hopkinson books, I'm pretty sure I need to read everything else she's ever written because she's so GOOD. But I also think that I'll need to space them out because she doesn't flinch from dealing with really serious issues face-on and I don't think I can handle a lot of that in quick succession.
