An 'it's me, not you' situation. The protagonist was compelling and the world was fascinating. A mix of futuristic dystopian technology and traditional witch magic which I've never read before. If only my hang-up about the graphic blood depiction hadn't got me.
➸ Trigger warnings forracism, slavery, graphic blood depiction, murder & attempted murder, gun violence, and whipping.
Context:
• The protagonist relives the memory of her ancestor, a slave on a sugar cane plantation, being tied to a tree and whipped. Her lover is shot and killed in front of her. She dies from her exhaustion after weaponising her blood (through magic) to murder their abusers.
• In the opening scene, the protagonist sits in a bath of her own period blood for a ritual. She later pours drops of her relative's blood on her open eye. .
▷ Representation: Voya (mc) is fat, Black & Trinidadian-Canadian; Black, sapphic & transgender scs.

Dull, slow, and a little confusing. I'm usually here for any kind of Slavic mythology, but it didn't keep my attention.
