Police brutality is technically more of brutality by those that police a certain group of people.zoiejanelle's review

The story follows three people: Damaya, a girl with great gifts that the world hates her for; Syenite, a powerful student who wants nothing more than to prove her worth; and Essun, a mother looking for revenge.
Knowing nothing about this book is the best way to go into it. I only knew that it had good representation and was well written, so I suggested it for my book club, and boy was it amazing.
It is masterfully written, the story ties together in such a gorgeous way, and even though it's confusing at first, the payoff at the end is more than worth pushing through this confusion.
Immediately after finishing it I had to go back and read the prologue, and it was so satisfying.
This review is all over the place, but just read this book okay??
Oh and check trigger warnings, for the love of god.

I honestly don’t know how to review this because it was an emotional roller coaster. I was mad, anxious, and sad throughout the whole book. One of the best writing of female characters! I loved that the book cover a wide multiple genres. This book was painfully real & very heavy about a very broken system. It was a very important and compelling read. Highly recommend it!
