Unabridged Audiobook
I liked the premise of the story more than the actual book. I didn't feel connected to the main character, Yetu, as I felt her emotions were immature for a person with her responsibilities. The author introduces new names and cultures without introduction, which created some confusion, and I had to rewind the story to make sure I understood what was happening. Just as I got to know the characters and cultures and their stories, the book ends. Wish the author took the story to the next level.
This book was captivating from the beginning. The narration was lovely, however, I found myself quite lost in regards to timeline. The book flowed at some points but became disjointed in others. It does end quite abruptly, but still powerful. The author does a great job setting the visuals for the story & its characters, helping you to follow along with character alignment and narrative well.
A little meandering, but with fascinating ideas and well read.
I loved how Daveed Diggs narrated this. I also think this was a very cool concept for a story even though it stemmed from a horrible part of history.
