a very visceral portrayal of slavery in the Antebellum South viewed from the perspective of someone living in modern times. the sci-fi aspects were cool to begin with but the book got a bit repetitive and the plot flatlined towards the end. had lots of potential but still a very eye-opening look into the reality of this portion of black american history.
