This was a heavy read for me- nothing can be scarier than what humanity has done to each other over the centuries. While the book was tense and even a bit scary at times, I also couldn’t help feeling so sad because even though the story is fiction, the atrocities that happened to enslaved people were real. It did take me a bit to get though, but I enjoyed the story and would read this author again.
