I have never read a book like this!! The feeling I got from reading a heroine that was beautiful and powerful that was described to look like my coworkers, friends family and me.... indescribable. To read blackness finally being describe as we are; multifacted! Distinct! Each one unique. I wish books like this were written when I was younger.

This read is able to elicit a variety of emotions… it can tie you to feel for the world and understand the perspectives of others it will make you debate weather having magic or hate is the same or is it the fear of each…
