this book is HEAVY, definitely look up content warnings before going in, dont be a fool like me and go in mostly blind. i will always wade through difficult subject matter for akwaeke emezi tho, even if it does mess me up after. this book is definitely magic, though

I struggled a little to get through it and was kinda unsatisfied at the end. I did, however, like learning about these characters. I think it's still worth the read for that. The Ada went through a lot...

An amazing and complex read

gosh what a book. had gravitas in so many aspects. also this is a good three! i really enjoyed the writing but i think i would have given it a better rating if i feel more connected to ada. they felt kinda distant from me, like i didn’t really know them. that was probably the point tbh

A deeply creative book by one of my favourite writers. Freshwater deals with some heavy themes, and sometimes I had trouble reading the raw pain, especially paired with spiritual language. However the changing view points was absolutely brilliant, and I am already considering giving it a second read through.
