I am the first to admit that I am not a lit fic girlie, even though I really would like to be. However, this book I really enjoyed so much.
This writing begins as poetic and at a point turns a little less so, but you still get the visceral feeling from each character as they try to navigate life in The Kingdom, without King. Each trying to decipher if they need to appear as he would have wanted them to or as they truly are.
Ms. Shelton Harris gave us a bouquet of personalities in each of these characters and I loved how the hardest of times brings family together.
This book is beautifully written and sheds a light on the happenings all across the US as older generations pass on and their younger generations try and fight for the very land that is rightfully theirs.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eArc of this book.

Some of the interpersonal stuff seemed a little soap opera-y to me, but mostly I was into the Solomon kids' stories. I don't have strong attachments to places, but the land, The Kingdom!, is essentially a character in this story and I bought into it. I liked the characters, and I could really *see* the setting.
Also, learning about heir property was eye-opening.
Spoiler
The ending, before the epilogue, was really well written and visual. Maybe ridiculous, but I could totally see it and enjoyed the heck out of it. Sure, maybe it was wrapped up a little too nicely, but sometimes you need a happy ending.Also, learning about heir property was eye-opening.
