When I first finished Remote Control, I was thinking it was a solid 4 stars. It’s a quiet, slower-paced story, and I wasn’t totally sure how to feel. But then I reread the final chapters, sat with it a bit, and watched a few videos discussing it—and honestly, it really is a 5-star read. Sankofa’s journey is so layered and emotional, and the atmosphere just lingers with you in this subtle, powerful way. I think having a couple of 5-star reads back to back had me second-guessing myself, but the more I thought about this one, the more it stuck. Quietly brilliant and definitely worth the hype.
