The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr.

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.0

Very strong with regards to character development + building tension between characters by seeing many different POVs, but to what end? The ending was explosive but a bit disappointing. For me, the flashbacks to a precolonial African society didn't add much as they weren't well enough connected to the rest of the story. The character work was remarkable enough though that I would pick up this author's next work, there's definitely great potential here.
