This book is INCREDIBLE. The heart, grit, power, world building, humanity, awareness, blending of trauma and our country's god awful history with race is masterful. I cannot wait to read the sequel. I have zero complaints. You can tell how well the author understands what she's writing cause the truth in every aspect of the book (even the fantasy elements) is so stark. The first few pages alone, hearing how Bree talks about loosing her mom, left me speechless. I have not witnessed a fiction author put that sort of pain into words in a long time. And then it just gets better the more you read. A truly wonderful and unflinching fantasy story.
