&lt;p&gt;I thought for sure that I would be more critical of this the second time through, but I found (again?) that the last third of this is the interesting part, even if the leading up to it feels confusing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s very interesting to read this after having reread &lt;em&gt;Dawn of Everything&lt;/em&gt; and after reading &lt;em&gt;There Never Was a West&lt;/em&gt; for the first time. I can better see the connections between those three pieces—and how they might inform my future writing.&lt;/p&gt;
