glosangela 's review for:
And So I Roar
by Abi Daré
*This is a review of a free review copy*
I loved The Girl with the Louding Voice so jumped at the chance to read its sequel. At first I was disappointed as the novel opened with the voice of Tia - prosaic after the richly appealing story of Adunni. But that was short-lived - Adunni quickly reappeared. In fact, sharing the narration between various different voices made the story-telling all the more effective. Tia's character was more fully developed and the voices of Adunni and other women and girls meant there was plenty of space for everyone to tell their stories. It was powerful, moving, heartbreaking and full of love.
(My enjoyment was only slightly marred by some formatting errors on the ebook I read, which I hope were fixed before full publication!)
