The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson
3.75
challenging emotional informative sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This is the conclusion of Octavian's story, and while it is a bit slow, one thing I appreciated about it was the fact that it complicates the view of the Revolutionary War that we are given. What would a Black person do during the war to be free? Which side would be the right side?
