Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
3.0

It was really good. But the big reveal feels so rushed and everything spirals so quickly. The resolution feels like luck, I’m not sure how our characters end up thriving and there’s no feeling of closure or the ‘right side’ winning. 

I wanted to love it and for a while I really really did. But it just got ridiculously far-fetched.
