Unfortunately, in the times we are living in, there is a lot of racism and this book talks about it in a way that makes you suffer from start to finish. I’ve read this book in an afternoon and it is so well written but it wasn’t an easy read for all the topics it deals with.

It was a little confusing at first, as fantasy books usually are, but once you understand the concept of the book, what Wajinru are, and what Yetu is as a historian, it is a very unique and interesting story!
It was a little short for me though! I wish there was more and I feel like it lacked some details. However, most of all, I feel like it ended too soon! I would have really liked to read about what Yetu did next!
