dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.5

I liked the blend of historical events with myth and magic. The characters are experiencing the effects of secrets, both known and unknown to them, which at the same time bind them together and keep them apart from one another.

internationalreads's review

The incestuous sexual abuse of a child was romanticized as a “relationship.” Nope nope nope.

2.5⭐s. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH INCEST IN THIS BOOK?!?! I liked everything else about it: the story, the Caribbean setting/history/characters, the folklore, the language, the way it was told, the non-incestuous romances, and even the romances that were incestuous would have been good EXCEPT INCEST. Can you tell I just really wish there hadn't been so much incest? Huge, huge disappointment for me. I would pick up other work by Tiphanie Yanique in the future though. (Just please God no more incest).
