Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia

3.0

Reid Loved this book he was gripped from beginning to end and begged to keep listening. I on the other hand thought it was okay but I really wanted it to be better. I felt it was a bit convoluted and could have been simplified and edited to a cleaner story. The bones were there, but it just didn’t come together like I wanted it to. I also, wanted more history of the gods and folktales. Some I was familiar with, others not so much and Reid didn’t know many of them. It did inspire me to find my African folktale books and reread them and maybe check some out from the library though.
