iariaI liked it.
+ I liked Sylvia. I liked Keller.
+ I appreciated that there was no Sylvia/Keller romance shoehorned in. I like that they connected over grief and how to move past it and the accompanying anger. Keller reading Philippe's suicide letter was a really moving scene.
+ I'm choosing to believe that Sylvia returns to Matobo and ends up helping to enact lasting and good change for her people. That her connection to Xola (and Simon) lends her contacts and she takes over for them.
+ The bus scene where Sylvia confronts Kuman-Kuman and everything converges was great. Very tense and I loved the wtf of Keller, Woods and the tailing agents.
+ I liked the final showdown and Sylvia confronting Zuwanie. Her anger and grief over him giving them hope and then taking it away again, especially the grief and loss, was conveyed really well. I loved her forcing him to recall his past via his autobiography, to confront how far he'd fallen.
+ I liked the little we saw/knew about Simon. Him reassuring the young boy who murdered him that it was okay with his last breath, the fact that he used the notebooks his sister sent him.
