This was an excellent novella. It is so short, but the world building is so clear and the writing is so vivid. It is a story of prejudice, identity, violence, and unexpected friendships.

My first venture into Afrofuturism and I’m slightly underwhelmed. Should’ve been much, much longer, but overall it was fun.

I didn't know anything starting this book, and honestly, that's a good thing. This is a good story. Maybe I was expecting more action, but it would have been too much. So yeah, a good surprise. Sometimes I felt a bit lost, but I think it's more because I was reading it when I needed to sleep than because of the book

This is very fast read. I got through it in a couple of hours. I really enjoyed the potential in the plot of this novella, but there were some typos that I felt should have been caught during the editing process. Also, after stewing over it for a few days, there are some plot holes and lingering questions the book doesn’t answer. Over all, I’m excited to read the remaining books in the series to see how the author builds upon this initial premise.
