I really loved this book. The pacing is great, the characters are fleshed out, and have a nice well rounded personality. I always love afrofuturism, and this book delivers. The world building, despite being so short of a novel, is so rich and layered.

My only complaint with this novel is I wanted a little more between sequences. The author does a great job at giving a ton of world building in a short time but I would have liked to have lingered a little longer and absorb some details more before we move on to the next part of the story.

A great book overall, and one I will be recommending to my friends!

I didn't know anything starting this book, and honestly, that's a good thing. This is a good story. Maybe I was expecting more action, but it would have been too much. So yeah, a good surprise. Sometimes I felt a bit lost, but I think it's more because I was reading it when I needed to sleep than because of the book
