The Deep by Rivers Solomon
5.0
Gorgeously written with intricately woven Afrofuturism; the Deep by Rivers Solomon is a incredible place to start if you want to get into the genre.
The characters and world building are immaculate. With enlightening prose and themes.
The Deep is the first afrofuteristic novel that I have read. Though I have explored the genre in films, television, and music I never found the right place I wanted to start for reading literature.
The Deep was a instant must read for me; because Solomon's interpretation of mer-people. Though it is only 155 pages long The Deep feels fulling and grandiose.
The novella felt like a pure Art-house experience reminiscent in the writing style of Guillermo del Toro and visuals of Makoto Shinkai.
