The Free People's Village by Sim Kern

ARC REVIEW
Overall, the Free People's Village was an engrossing read that made me feel hope, and memories of despair at certain parts. Included in Free People's were some great works to read if you wanted to educate yourself and that inclusion felt natural to the story. Also, given that the point of view is of a cis white woman, there was discomfort all over the place!
There were both big and little stakes throughout the story, and it felt like a nice blend of character development, plot continuity, and realism. This story felt grounded in reality, even though it did pose the question of what if Al Gore won the 2000 election.
There were some points that were lagging, but that felt more like personal preference over any issue with the pacing.
Thank you to Netgalley, and Levine Querido for an ecopy of this Arc!
