Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi

3.0

The book fell short for me. It touches on a lot of really deep topics. Addiction religion science racism. I couldn’t muster a connection but was invested enough to keep reading. I really, really enjoyed Homegoing so I want to follow through with her book. 

I think part of that detached feeling was the main POV. Gifty is emotionless towards the most painstaking moments, which makes sense how she’s in this matter of fact science field so deep in academia. 

All in all I did like it, but I did have to switch to the audio to force myself to finish it
