Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
3.5
I respect what it was trying to do.
It was predictable in places, ( i am good at guessing plot twists so take my opinion on predictable with a punch of salt ) but after the first ‘twist’ the rest were pretty much the same.
The story definitely picked up around half way but it was easy to move through the whole time, could easily be finished in one sitting.
The ending was very anticlimactic however. For so much build up, the reveal and the aftermath were a couple of quick chapters that ended very abruptly and that was it. Tied in a bow and done with.
The concept had so much potential but the execution wasn’t as good as it could’ve been.
