A review by erinlindsaybell
The Record Keeper by Agnes Gomillion

5.0

Dudes, I loved this. Gomillion has a strong and evocative voice. Dark, violent, post-apoc/dystopian. Similar in tone to Rivers Solomon's "An Unkindness of Ghosts" which I also LOVED.

I would say content warming for themes of slavery, racism, bigotry, violence (no sexual violence/rape), family separation.

Arika is a juicy, complex, imperfect hero. She frustrated me so much, but the last 20 pages or so especially had me wanting to jump on a chair and cheer for her. She is flawed, but kickass and I can't wait to she where she and this world goes.
