Blood Colony: A Novel by Tananarive Due

5.0

What an incredible journey. This volume.of the African Immortals series felt so vast and full on every level: the character development, the plot, the arc, the world-building, the emotion, the ending!!!! Fana is a strong, resonant voice and the relationships she is navigating were rendered so deep and complex. I savored this one over time, because were it not for the lush excellence of the writing, it might be too scary and bloody for me. I read it and listened to the audio book, but halfway through I had to limit it to any time that wasn't close to bedtime. I'm a scary cat who loves this author and Black horror in general. If you're like me, don't hesitate to dive into this book. It's completely, deliciously worth the scare. But definitely start at the beginning, My Soul to Keep. This is book 3 of 4.
