Echo's story started out really strong for me but it did slow up a bit and I can't say all the magical realism regarding wizardry flowed right with me the whole time. I did get a little teary eyed quite a bit though. Definitely a kind of coming of age story and I love the message this sends about Black womanhood as being it's own struggle on top of the struggle of being a Black American.
