Thank you HarperCollins Canada for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this contemporary YA fantasy book written in verse. I really loved reading about the issues and themes confronted here (colonization, hair, skin, beauty), and I really loved learning about the Caribbean folklore side of the novel. If you’re someone who doesn’t really read a lot of fantasy but want to try it out with a book that uses a unique way of storytelling, this is for you, and the poetry is accessible. You will love this!
