This was a good story, although it didn‘t bring anything new in particular, with some solid growth and enjoyable characters. I would, however, have liked some more depth in the world-building, particularly the magic system, so that objects and actions had a better root. I also found the pacing a little odd — the plot was slow, but the relationships between characters grew insanely fast. ⬇️⬇️

BookBr I‘m also not entirely sure I bought the twist at the end, and I think that‘s where more depth would have really helped. I might still read the sequel, but I‘m just as glad this was a loaner. (edited) 3d

Inspiring true story of an African girl who is adopted by an American and works hard to become a ballerina. Great illustrations. White dance teachers try to get her to quit ballet and dance jazz or hip-hop, but she never gives up on her dreams. This true story includes a positive portrayal of international, transracial adoption, so if that offends you, ok, pass on this one. #blackhistory #blackauthors #kidlit

Inventive, character driven, classic soft sci-fi. A woman loses her family & most of humanity to war and is forced to start again amongst a strange race of alien "traders." #5stars #scifi #blackauthors

I‘m a baby when it comes to scary stories so I almost didn‘t read this one. But I LOVE Kalynn Bayron, and I‘m so glad I finally picked this one up, it had my heart racing but was soooo good
