A review by leah_alexandra
The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr.

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

4.0

This is the kind of book that is always described as beautiful and heartbreaking, but that’s a fitting description. The Prophets differs from other narratives of enslavement that I’ve read, and I really appreciated the efforts here to do something different. I enjoyed the storytelling from multiple perspectives and the complexity of the characters. The writing style was lyrical to the degree that it sometimes tops over into being difficult to follow. Well worth a read.
