the violence and gore that came with the book is chilling and gave me goosebumps but it also important to the plot of the story and the choices the characters make as well. i fell in love with the characters, fell in love with the writing but also need to research more and learn more as this book provoked me on wanting to expand more on learning.

This was a great magical realism tinged look at the Klan and the history of racism in America. The real strength of this book is how it talks about and how the MC is able to take ownership of their pain and loss. The topic is undeniably heavy but the way the story is told is engaging and has some humor to it. 

I listened on audio and enjoyed the different voices and tones the narrator uses.

This genre isn’t usually my speed but I am so glad I read it! The prose style is simple, powerful, and beautiful. The use of dialect and imagery gives such a great window into this world and these lovable characters. I felt like I was reading a folk tale, an epic, and a high art piece all at once. The body horror and gore was done tastefully — it was shocking and gruesome without being unreadable for my squeamish self. My biggest critique is that it was almost too fast-paced for my liking and I would have really liked to see a deeper dive into the characters and the world building. I did love it though, and would totally read a sequel if one ever comes about!

The horror, the social commentary, the history. Everything about this book was amazing. I could not stop listening to it until I finished it.
