Of course where we're sections that were hard to read. I love historical fiction and I learned so much about the disgusting ways in which slaves were treated through these characters! The weekly community lynching and the road with hung people was crazy to me. Overall the pacing was slow but there were tense and more fast-paced moments scattered throughout.
I'm not sure what would have made it any better tbh. I enjoyed it but I didn't love it.
