Wow.
To think that this book was fused with magical realism and the reality of todays racism.... I am at a loss for words. This was done magnificently!
This book will have you hooked from beginning to end. I found the writing easy to read and super well done. The characters were great and the world building was exceptional. The fact that the author clearly differentiated the world building for a fantasy world she created, but still instilled todays hate and racism really shows her talent. I loved the struggles it showed for the main character to lose her mother, resent her father to then only realize he was on her side and protecting her this whole time, to then losing him, protecting her sister at all costs, her facing racism and still being strong and outspoken/stubborn to let people know who she is and she will not back down... this truly was a beautiful book and well descriptive and informative for people whom are not BIPOC.
I did not want to put this book down and it will truly have a special place in my heart. (That’s how you know its superb, lol)
Thank you a million times over to Simon & Schuster for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
