When the Reckoning Comes by LaTanya McQueen
3.0
Quick casual review ahead:
This book was very mid and honestly a little forgettable. I had a fun enough time listening and was definitely hooked enough to want to find out what happened. However, I felt like the themes around enslavement and white supremacy could have been explored in a lot more depth. I simultaneously felt that I could have enjoyed the storyline significantly more in a short story form as there were many aspects of the overarching plot that were predictable and drawn out.
Overall I had a fun enough time but was very much left wanting more!
