challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

My first Octavia novel. In this book, Dana is brought face to face with her history—a promise that we survive, that there are Black people in the future, and also that, for many of us, unspeakable horrors line our pasts towards our present.
