The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste

adventurous dark hopeful slow-paced

3.0

I liked the world-building, representation, and premise of this one, but it surprisingly failed to hold my attention. The book was long, the violence intense and extensive, the characters felt under-developed, and I found the writing style too choppy. 

However, I'm rating this higher than all that would usually earn because I thought the allegory around the racially-motivated violence was strong, especially the way the "good guys" were complicit.
