It took me some time to fully process this book and decide on a fair rating taking the whole story into account. I agree with most that this book is brilliantly written. The writing style had a unique flow and I enjoyed the authors take on the deep South and the struggles that many Black people have experienced both in the past and present.

If I had to describe the feel of this book, I would say it’s similar to that of Toni Morrison’s Beloved.

While I did enjoy this book, I will say I was left wanting more character development and just more of the story overall. The story started off strong, but as it progressed my interest started to fade; however my interest was regained towards the end which is why I rated this book a 4 and not a 3.

I looked forward to reading more from this author. Overall great unique story!
