I rate on enjoyment, and while this book is fantastic there were some elements that are just too heavy for me to have I said I fully enjoyed reading this book. But I think that’s the point.
It’s tragic, but especially sickening, the effects that internalized racism drove these characters to become. Their actions don’t excuse them by any means, but it’s important to acknowledge that they’re still victims. And that these behaviors could have been prevented. But the cycle continued.
