Good second book/middle of the trilogy. Amps up the tension, and good climax-and-slight-cliffhanger to lead us into the second book. Fills the same shoes that the first book set up. And still, I feel like I’m missing a dimension of the book, a subtext or something. But that’s probably because I am both a. dense like a sack of bricks and b. white with little knowledge of what it means to live as a black person.
