A review by serian
On Black Sisters' Street by Chika Unigwe
dark
emotional
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
I can't say that I enjoyed reading this because the subject matter is very bleak, but I thought lots about it was very well done. I wanted to keep reading it and to understand the characters and their backgrounds. I'd definitely read other books by Unigwe.
That said, I didn't think it quite lived up to its potential - certain bits felt a bit too clumsy or rushed through, and you didn't get the time with the characters that they deserved. The reveal didn't have the impact I think it could have.
