I have been over the moon by the short stories that I have been reading. I don't think I realized how much I like these stories. Specifically, to Skin Folk I noticed a few themes throughout the stories; control, sex, abuse, revelations.
I found lots of these stories enjoyable. I also found some hard to listen to. The last story in this book is filled with domestic violence and that was difficult to consume. However, the story about a fisherman was my favorite. It's a story about a person's identity, who they are, how they wish to be seen, and their first consensual sexual experience.

There were many different magic systems throughout this book. All of these different stories were different and Unique. The story about the older gentleman who was from Trinidad and eating things easily available to me reminded me of humility and the female character in that same story race change was equally interesting. I felt such joy as the grandmas ganged together in the story about the young girl who just wanted to meet her favorite author.

I think reading Skin Folk is a great introduction to Nalo's work. I hear that some of her novels have triggering stories and harder to process. I am so glad this was my first of her books. On to Midnight Robber.
