A few weeks ago, I decided to stop writing reviews and only log star listings for books because of some internal screaming and frustrations I had regarding the popularity contest that is the goodreads review system. However, I realize now I need to make a few notes to keep track of what I read because my memory is failing me... I am getting older.

This was great - a nice surprise and addition to the afro-sci fi genre. I am waiting to read the next one, though, because I am not sure if I am willing to be disappointed.
I say that because I really liked the front end of this book, and in spite of my high rating, I do feel like the end was very much lackluster compared to the engaging start.
