A review by midnightlibrarymouse
Mourning Glory by L.L. McKinney, Bethany C. Morrow

5.0

 
I listened to the audiobook that's just come out on Spotify, and I was absolutely blown away! The voices, the production, the soundscapes, everything was amazing!

The story is an incredible story about familial love, magic, and the reality of being Black. Now, I am not one to talk about being Black, as I am not, but the story does such a good job at portraying both familial love, and Blackness that I fell in love with all the characters.

Every member of the Cauley family had their own voice, their own strengths and weaknesses, their family dynamics felt really real, even the strained relationships between family members that is mildly repaired by facing a common enemy.

I genuinely loved every second of this book and will gladly listen to it again.

Thank you to NetGalley, and Spotify Audiobooks for providing me this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves magic!
