That being said, still good. The portrayal of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was incredible (and brought attention to an event I wasn't aware/had never heard taught before). Theta's healing was AMAZING, I loved her whole character arch so much!
The diversity in characters and perspectives was great. But, with that diversity plus their settings, there are a TON of big issues that could be triggering. Overall, I feel like the author handled/discussed them well, while also doing so in a way that makes sense in the 1920s setting.
