Another good one! This one ended with more of a resolution than the last so I’m not entirely sure that I will keep reading the series. It’s not because I don’t like it. I just have trouble with series because I don’t like staying in the same world for too long. The retelling was really good though and I loved the characters.

I listened to this series on Audible as I drove from Ohio to Arizona. So now it has a very special place in my heart because it was apart of one of the biggest moments in my life. With all that aside, I really enjoyed this. I felt apart of this world and right in the action. I can’t wait to the 3rd installment comes. I’ll be rereading the first 2 with my daughter in preparation!

I'm looking forward to book 3. This one was better developed than the 1st, but sadly when a person reads maybe too much (which never happens and that doesn't exist) seeing the plot twist becomes a nasty side effect. While I THINK I know what will happen next in book 3, I am pleasantly resolved for Book 2.

This book was even more amazing than the first. Black girls revered and loved, the hint of queerness to be explored. Complicated love interests. A Black female lead who is awkward yet a badass with a complicated experience of emotion. A beautiful diversity of characters. I cannot wait to read the third book!

A very enjoyable follow up to A Blade So Black — from a writer’s eyes, you can see the world building that the author explores and expands with some of the key characters from the first entry, and adds a curious villain into the mix, nefarious plot twists, and steers away from the book feeling like Buffy fan fiction go taking ownership of these characters uniqueness and individuality. It’s a very fun, enjoyable YA read and leave me curious (and speculating) where the third book will take this cast of characters.
