I did enjoy this book, in particular the end of Kal's storyline, and Jessamy's story when she re-enters the action. Most points in the background were wrapped up, though I would have liked more detail on others, particularly Jessamy's sisters. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but think of the very white author, while the side characters slung slurs at Jessamy. I don't want to say this book could only be done by an author of color, but there were certain scenes that didn't sit well with me for that reason.
