librarianlayla 's review for:
When We Were Birds
by Ayanna Lloyd Banwo
dark
mysterious
reflective
sad
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Slow paced and gritty.
The flow of the story isn't consistent which sometimes led to it being a little difficult to read. I enjoyed Darwin's character and his story more so than Yejide's. I wanted more from her due to her role within the story.
For those who enjoy magical realism with far more realism than magic - and gritty stories that have dark underlying themes - this could be for you.
