About this listen
It's Carnival time and the Caribbean-colonized planet of Toussaint is celebrating with music, dance, and pageantry. Masked "Midnight Robbers" waylay revelers with brandished weapons and spellbinding words. To young Tan-Tan, the Robber Queen is simply a favorite costume to wear at the festival - until her power-corrupted father commits an unforgiveable crime.
Suddenly, both father and daughter are thrust into the brutal world of New Half-Way Tree. Here monstrous creatures from folklore are real, and the humans are violent outcasts in the wilds. Tan-Tan must reach into the heart of myth and become the Robber Queen herself. For only the Robber Queen's legendary powers can save her life...and set her free.

Heart rending and imaginative fantasy/sci-fi

So deeply beautiful, The references. The light patois. The weaving of stories you heard as a child with references to places you've stood, the air you've breathed, memories long forgotten of generations past.
I've never been in love with a book before. I've enjoyed stories, had moments of new learning and understanding from books but never love until now.

T/W for child abuse, rape, self-blaming. At times this was an undeniably difficult listen. It's handled extremely well but also doesn't skirt around details.
YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS!
