As a Black American, I don't reccomend this book to other Black people or other oppressed groups because there is so much talk about ~humans~ being dominated and being slaves while all the humans in the book are white. It's definitely one of those fantasy books that was and is still a reality for folks today. That being said I did find that once I started I did want to know what happened at the end
